Re: NAS or Tape for backup?

[Glenn Gundermann <glenn.gundermann@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would recommend doing both.
Don't you want to send a tape offsite every day?
The client I am at is currently having trouble with their backup to NAS so
it's a good thing they are still backing up to tape also.
Sorry I don't know enough to recommend any models of anything.

Yours truly,
