Re: offsite backup service

Hi, Sherry. An excellent thread dated around June 27th came up here on
the list. Subject line "off site backup." I believe a number of
responders have been happy with Barracuda's appliance which basically
backs up to their cloud service.

Since we've gone to a 95% virtual environment here at St. Catherine's in
Richmond, I'm using a mix of disk-to-disk-to-tape for our backup
strategies including Backup Exec 2010 for our tapes and VMware's Virtual
Data Recovery appliance to a 1Gbps connected 2Tb network drive for our
VM VMDK files.

I guess the question depends on what you're backing up and what kind of
environment you have. Simply said, I'd check out the Barracuda service
that was so highly mentioned.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Kory
