That's correct. BackupExec tape catalogs (which list the directory, size, and name of every file in the backup session) are typically only a few K.

They vender would have time involved in cataloging. Am I wrong on this. -----Original Message----- From: Wes Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 1:46 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: BackupExec and offsite storage vendors I would think that would be prohibitively expensive as it would be labor intensive and require massive amounts of storage. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Malayter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 2:17 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: BackupExec and offsite storage vendors Does anyone know of an offsite storage vendor that will take a BackupExec (or other backup software) catalog and store it in their tape-management database? In a way that you could know the exact contents of a tape before calling it out of storage? Our current provider is all paper-based. We were looking at Iron Mountain, which has some web-based tape management, but they don't offer a cataloging service. (Their no-tape, backup over-the-internet LiveVault service does offer such features, but WOW was it expensive and bandwidth intensive). Am I totally dreaming thinking that someone might offer this feature? :::Ryan Malayter :::Network Engineer :::Bank Administration Institute :::Chicago, Illinois, USA :::PGP Key: http://www.malayter.com/pgp-public.txt ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
