Tapes shouldnt get too expensive, depending on how many full backups you do and how long you are keeping them.
What you could go is have a second server, off site (if you have the bandwidth and location) and using zfs send and recieve. so that you can send snapshots of the file system to the other server on regular intervals, so if something happens to the server you have recover from that other server. I t will not be from the exact point in time that the other server failed, but it should be better than standard backups fo recovery time. The you could backup the server to tape every other day, rotating tapes to keep the number down. if you again dont have the money available for all the tapes needed for daily backups. You could also use AVS, to proide you with an exact copy of the server if you want, but at the expense of performance. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
