Whats with all the Japanese women and ginormous boobies? Did they put hormones in the water or something?
let me know what you find out via pm, i'd be interested. there was an early 90s mazda coupe with the same tech they put underneath the drivers seat, it just seems kinda gimmicky to me...

I'm training with Symantec this week.
I don't know why every backup software training course always devotes half of it to physical tape libraries anymore.
who the hell still backs up to tape? like, do I really need to spend 8 hours of my day learning how your software controls a robotic arm?
You still need to back data up to media that can be rotated offsite.
what no fiber link? :biggrin:
Not for most small/medium companies. We have a fiber link between buildings separated by a few miles and we still do disk to disk to tape backups.
time to invest in SAN :sneaky:
What does that have to do with anything? We have 4 SANs. SANs don't help rotate data offsite to a secure location.
san to san online backup
We do. Disk-->Disk-->Tape and the tape goes to a secure, offsite location. All restores are mainly done from disk.
how much time do you have to tape?
No idea. I'm not responsible for any of that. I think we can keep around 2 weeks of backups on the backup SAN. I think they were sending tapes offsite once per week.
There comes a time when tape is just not worth the effort.
Think trays of hdd :biggrin:
Personally, if I were them, I would've looked at backup up over a fiber to a remote third-party location rather than mess with tapes.
that is what I am talking about, doesn't have to be third party, just third site.
reality is most of the important stuff like db, the backup is useless. sure you can restore to previous point in time, but whatever happened after that is gone.
