Backup Solutions - Which one do you use...



I am in a quandry. We have had a lot of grief with Symantec/Veritas and
their new licensing portal. A lot of that on our own time.

While that grief was happening, we setup the stock SBS backup to a USB hard
drive large enough to handle the data (some are over 600GB).

SBS 2K3 Premium SP1 or R2 on all of our client's boxes.

I have grown somewhat accustomed to swapping out the drives, and so have my
clients.

Is a Symantec/Veritas solution based on tape and/or tape libraries (many
$$$) justified in this day and age of cheap storage?

I understand that Enterprise is moving away from tape and into hard drive
media based backups for archiving. Is that right?

I hope all y'all can help me out here, as I would like to make some
recommendations.
