In our scenario the customers are storing document images such as TIFF
and PDF files. Much smaller than 800gb on individual file basis, but
not always in aggregate :-)
Quite honestly if you're pushing that amount of backup data, my opinion
would be to get an LTO3 or LTO4 tape unit and be done with it.
LTO backup devices rock and are relatively inexpensive today.
IBM probably also have disk to disk backup units as well today where you
could use the virtual tape stuff. I haven't looked much.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for getting back. Looks like we can't ftp due to the space needed
to store the savefile (one of the files is 800gb!).
We are looking at virtual tapes but we can't seem to mount image
catalogues from NFS mounted directories (but this would be the preferred
solution).
You were saying that you are storing images, is that graphics or images
as in isos etc for imagecatalogues?
Cheers buddy, have a great Friday
