Brian,
	Pete Massiello and I own and operate iInTheCloud which has data centers 
on both sides of Michigan, the primary center being just south of Grand 
Rapids.

	We utilize VTL replication for such services. IN this was your backup 
tapes are duplicated here and kept available in case of recovery. We 
offer different levels depending on your need but it sounds like you'd 
likely want to do a test recovery annually to assure you are in fact 
backing up everything and could restore if needed. BRMS plays very well 
with this solution.

	We would typically build a VPN tunnel to your site for both the tape 
replication as well as access to your partition on our site for testing 
and in case of an actual emergency. Our facility has pretty much every 
provider connected to it so if you desired a private connection we can 
work with that as well.

	Check us out at www.iInTheCloud.com, send me an email at lbolhuis at 
iInTheCloud.com or call me at 616.260.4746 if you have any questions.
