Hey! I really appreciate the option to ask for advice. Our use case is a bit unique, so I'm having a hard time getting input on this.
Our business is creating a new backup solution. One of the big hurdles is that the owners require a full backup of our systems be taken off site daily. This must be on physical hardware. Currently we take an LTO7 tape offsite every day, but backing up directly to tape is becoming too slow to take a full copy every 24 hours.
I'm thinking of changing our backup software from an older version of Backup Exec to Veeam, installing a 1U storage server for backups to head first, and then I'd replicate that storage to a portable NAS device daily and tape weekly/monthly.
Money isn't a consideration currently. Just trying to figure out some options.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve
