Re: Backing up, but NOT to tape

Aaron

You can create writable virtual optical devices now - when you add an image catalog you can do this. Basically an RW kind of thing, and it can be CD size or DVD size or anything else you can use. That image file can be named with .iso or .bin or whatever. That could then, I assume, be sent out to some cloud or SAN or whatever.

I see I'm using "whatever" a lot - WhatEVer!!!

What are others doing in the arena of backing up data to digital mediums? I
am just not a tape guy because that means I have to remember to switch
something out. Right now I have a small Java app that I run and it FTP's
source from the IBM i to my Linux desktop which subsequently is backed up by
JungleDisk to Amazon's S3 service. What I would like to do is take my PC
out of the mix and backup more than just source (though I am mostly only
interested in source as both of my machines are used for development).
