enterprise backup system recommendations

[Northrup, Wilson]

Just curious, what kind of insurance reasons?  Generally with an
enterprise system like TSM, copies are made of tapes so there is at
least one onsite copy and one offsite copy.   Nightly runs can be
ejected so that the offsite copy is easily identified & for off site
storage.

we have just upgraded from dlt  to lto3 and we are impressed with the 
speeds. We cant use tape libraries as we need to have the tapes taken 
offsite every day for insurance reasons :)
