Advice needed: Virtual off-site backup solution

Folks:

I'm in need of some advice ... I'm looking for a way of implementing a backup system that would allow us to do regular backups (not savsys) to a virtual tape and store the data at a remote location.

This is mainly to do daily & weekly backups on our development systems.

We have a Power 7+ (8202/E4D) with 1.3tb of storage (12 x 198C drives) and 290gb free. We have a management partition and 4 guest partitions.

What I'd *LIKE* to be able to do is SAV* & RST* to a virtual tape device, store the data on a local system, then transfer the backup to an off-site server via our WAN.

Is what I'm describing possible at all?

Is this something that could be done with added storage on our management partition and some virtual tape & image catalog magic?

Would we need to purchase some extra hardware to implement this?

Thanks!

david
