Re: Backup Tape rotation with Corona-virus

I will be honest I was/am a little uneducated in this area.
I did some research on this and have been reading your comments.
I was hoping to be able to do it all in house with what we currently have.
I am not sure the man with the money will want to spend any money. I am
willing to talk to him about it.

I'm so confident in our VTL and it's replication to the offsite center
that on Friday June 19 I plan on saving 10 lpars of IBM i, 5 on a Power 8
and 5 on a Power 9, to our VTL. Then on Saturday the VTL and both power
systems will be loaded on the same truck and shipped to a different data
center.
And, the last time we did a data center migration the truck driver ripped
the side off of the IBM rack before he even loaded it on the truck.

I highly recommend Data Domain.

Data Domain works great with IBM i and BRMS.
Plus, it supports other backup products such as Veeam on the same box.

We backup Exchange, IBM i, Linux, SQL Server and Windows to them.
Have a local appliance and a remote target appliance for backup
replication.

I like what I am hearing. VTL replicated between two different data
centers.
We are currently using BMRS.
If I can get a VTL between our two boxes using BRMS I think everyone would
be happy.
Can you point me in the right direction? Redbook, web site, documentation?
