Backup Options Tape vs Online, Opinions wanted.
Rob,
Thank you for the reply. The control is also one of my main concerns.
The online backup company is a local one that I have dealt with for
over 10 years but the online backup service is one that they just
started to provide. I am fairly certain that we will be going with
the tape unit, that way it gives us alot of room to grow. Then replace
the tapes every 3 years (about 30 uses each, since we only backup M-F).
Maybe then do a test restore of some data every month. I may also
copy a backup of our SQL data every night to a Flash drive also, since
they are so cheap.
Thank you for your help, all opinions are greatly welcomed.
