I have 2 instances I need to back up through onbar, and I'm wondering how
many tape drives I need. They are both very small, about 1GB a piece, and
should easily fit on the 4 GB dat drive I have. Of course I'm going to want
the logs backed up too. I'm using onbar so that the whole thing is
automated. How many tape drives do I need? Is onbar smart enough to be
able to put system backups and logs on the same tape? If so, I could easily
get by with 2 tape drives and possibly one. If not, I'll need at least 4 to
avoid having to swap tapes daily. At that point, a juke box might be the
way to go. Any suggestions?
