Is it possible to eliminate tape and still have backups, and archives, including off-site, disaster recovery, and business continuity? I don't know, but I sure like the idea. Data Domain was at a seminar I attended recently, hosted by Optimus Solutions. They gave us each a bumper sticker, that I'm real tempted to actually put on my car!
It's definitely possible. We don't use tape at all. You should check out Unitrends (www.unitrends.com). Their Data Protection Units (DPUs) are awesome! I used to work for one of their resellers before going into the Ministry. We sold quite a few units and had nothing but positive feedback. Their products are great & the support is even better!
