When considering a tape backup and archival architecture, what should an organization plan for?
This is a fairly wide-ranging topic. From a strategic point of view, an organization needs to create and adhere to a specific data protection strategy. This can be as simple as a single tape drive attached to a server via SCSI or as complex as multiple libraries segmented by operation or data type attached to a SAN through Fibre Channel performing serverless backup. The most important issue is for the organization to have a strategy for backing up and protecting its data.
