RE: Data vaulting

Well, there's the iCluster, but IBM doesn't own that anymore.

No, I'm more interested in a cloud thing. So the data is 'out there' so to
speak. I'm just a 1-person shop and as time goes on I find myself more and
more in company management as opposed to tech management.

All,

I decided to look into data vaulting. I got a quote just to see what the
costs would be.

System i data: 84gb, 14 dailys, 4 weeklys and 13 monthlys = $258/mo.
Windows servers data: 900gb, 14 dailys and 4 weeklys = $2,100/mo.

This was so far beyond what I thought the costs would be that I am
absolutely stunned. When I asked how companies justified it, the reply I
got was savings on buying blank tapes. I could restock my entire supply

of

tapes every week and spend less.
