So this is a "green field" installation as far as backup gear goes: backup servers, tape drives or hard drives for vtapes, network enhancements, etc., as needed. I have no doubt this crew can advise you well on all of that. However, paranoids live longer. Do not terminate your contract with the law school until you are getting good backups locally of everything you want to back up. And a thought that probably does not sit well with the typical library budget: If necessary, spend the money to get good kit. It will save you trouble (and hence money) in the long run. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
