(disclaimer: I work for Peak10-Charlotte market sales engineer) I have customers where backups are totally lights out. We handle their internal rotation, their offsite rotation, their restores. I have customers that by disk by the slice and replicate or backup to disk and then we can dump to tape or replicate over our WAN to another Peak 10 facility, a.k.a., e-Vaulting. Lastly, I have customers with single drive tape units up to mega-ton libraries that they do their own thing and we're just a co-lo for them.
>From what I see on the sales side, IT departments want to get out of the >backup business and the "mundaneness" of managing media rotation, be it disks, >tapes or replication targets. I'd be more than happy to discuss this further via phone, if anyone wants more details...

Do you have their staff take care of that for you, or do you have to visit the center to swap tapes on a regular basis?
