The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Because we are talking about full system backups, not just data. I don't
know if you can do a full system backup when you aren't directly connected
to the machine can you? Besides, if you could, that would take forever.
If it is just data, then yes, this is a trivial question. But Rob is more
concerned with the full system, not just user libs, and data.
Rob, I would suggest making it a part of a person's job description to
drive the tape off site each day. They would have to sign it in at the
other site and sign out any tapes they are bringing back. Have an
auditable paper trail.
Thanks

Re: Alternatives to Iron Mountain
I am curious why one doesn't back up directly to the HA server, and let
the HA Site manage the back up tapes and storage? Then there is no
driving, no latency, no in-house function beyond auditing and testing.

It's still good to back up to tapes however.
If you screw up the data on one machine it's quickly replicated to the
other. Journalling helps, a lot, in recovering this data, but there's
some time when a restore is needed.
