Our clients who do disk-based backup (which is almost all of them at this point) either backup to removable drives that they rotate off-site on a regular schedule or run an additional on-line sync across a WAN to a disk system at another physical site. (usually in the middle of the night)

When a tape started to get a few, we retired it out of production. Don't forget you also have age issues to deal with along with the number of writes and the types of writes. We are also glad that we went to disk based backups about a year ago and we have never looked back or been happier. Felis demulcta mitis ... Alan G.
