ABSTRACT:
With the proliferation of virtual tape libraries within storage environments, storage managers face an increased number of decisions in regards to managing and cataloging the transfer of data to tape. As disk libraries become the primary backup target for near-term data recoveries, storage managers are exploring new ways to exploit tape's strengths: high capacity, low cost and mobility. Disk is the best medium for fast backups and recoveries, but tape is often the best option for long-term data storage and retention. Companies continue to use disk and tape in their backup process, but managing both media creates issues.
