No, in this case, we will be backing up the folders direct from disk to tape, using EMC Networker. Then giving the tape to the firm that is coordinating our compliance with these requests. Previously we did do it the other way - backup from disk to tape; re-direct to different disk on different server (still in the same AD domain); seize ownership and change permissions; then they would be copied to external disk. > That's not turning over the original backup tape.
