Well, the number of tapes depends on how much data, really. Here, we send about 10TB to tape each week.
But, we keep weekly backups for 6 weeks, and monthly backups for 400 days. Weeklies go to an office about 6 blocks away, and monthlies go to Iron Mountain. >>> David Mazzaccaro <[email protected]> 6/3/2011 6:12 AM >>> Hello everyone. For those who are still backing up to tape... What do you guys have for tape backup policies? I'm curious as to how far back you are keeping tapes - 1 year? 5 years? I've typically seen a 10 tape rotation w/ a monthly tape put in offsite storage. Is this still common practice? . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
