Im a old backup exec user currently still using 10.5 (pre symantec) to shift all of my data to LTO3 tapes.
I currently backup the old way with agents over the network this includes backing up all of my virtualized environment.
I have a HP Blade setup in a c7000 chasis and a EVA 4400 all fibre attatched.
I have recently aquired another shelf of slower SATA storage and a HP FC dual LTO4 tape device.
while im not the person who will be setting all this nice stuff up i am in charge of backing the stuff up.
I will be / have been told i am to use VCB along with Vranger backup software we purchased as a suite with our inital virtualization solution.
My dilema is how to get the data from my nice cheap (LOL) sata disk shelf to tape. I have a DL380 in the fabric aswell as my tape drive.
But do i use backup exec or is there something cheaper, quicker better out there ? it seems a little overkill to me to buy another 12.5 licence + extra tape option just to churn snapshoted data to tape.
I have budgeted arround £1200 based on quotes for the backup exec software so any help would be greatly appreciated.
