All,
How many places have implemented tapeless backup environments? I
don't mean virtual tape that has tape on the back-end but no tape at
all. We are exploring different options and the wintel side of the house
is heading down the totally tapeless path. That makes me nervous but I'm
getting old.
Thanks for any and all input.

You seem to be in the Healthcare industry. I agree with Rick F. What
are your legal obligations for keeping backups and what are you auditing
requirements.
What are your DR requirements?
It may be a bit expensive to put 5, 7, 10 years worth of backups on
DASD. Depending on what you do on the Wintel platforms, they may not
have any legal requirements to keep things longer than a few weeks or
months.
