My dream setup has no tape, VTL disk, deduplicated and replicated to an off-site or hot site location. FalconStor and SEPATON are my two choices.

When we first got the LTO4 tape drives (last August) we got occasional I/O errors on them, but after a couple of firmware updates from IBM, they have been working just fine. We have done some significantly large test restores, and those have also worked without any problems. The LTO4 is being used for all the local storage pools, and the 3592 is being used for the copy storage pools. We would be completely off the 3592 drives by now if we weren't waiting for our DR vendor to support LTO4 drives. Best Regards, John D.

I backup about 800GB per night and have about 250 client nodes. I have a 7 year old Sun server connected to an IBM 3494 with six 3590 drives and a Dell 6800 with 22TB of disc connected to a LTO3 library. I've thought about replacing the 3590 drives with 3592 but I'm thinking a new LTO4 library might be better. If you could get what you wanted what would it be?
