Hello,
I'm wondering what is the best backup system for saving big netapps we have tried alot of solutions , but we finished by running 3 sets of netapp in snapmirror so A(master) replicates to B and C (slaves) all have now raid_dp enabled and spare around . So we have realtime B and C backups (we may cluster A and B) .
But as its quite expensive "backup" i'm looking for some classic backup with tapes for example but i know from the past that tapes can be big pain to manage (specialy as we have around 2.5T of data on A)
Anybody have some "tape backup" that realy works ?
sub question : anybody have tried to attach a cheap ide raid shelf to scsi port of the netapp and use it as backup ?
today its cheap to have 14x300 gig ide disk array with scsi port , so it could be better than tapes if its directly attached to the netapp , nan ?
Best regards cb
