12TB hasn't been "a really large amount of data" in a long, long time now ;-) You will however have to purchase a tape library which can get the data down to tape in a reasonable time frame. You may want to discuss using disk for daily backups and only spool monthly backups to tape or something like that. -- Jo Rhett senior geek Silicon Valley Colocation Support Phone: 408-400-0550 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
