I dont know how Robert is doing it...

but I just consider the disk backup as the first wave of backups...

I still backup to tape.. keep a number of copies on site, offsite..

In our case, the disk with be big DR san in diff location... dupicated for on site.

Now I know most shops wont have that but... just backing up to tape after disk
and verifying it.. I dont see a problem with that.

So, if your most recent backup is early this morning at 2:00 AM, and you need to recover
something to a POT prior to that, you must rely on the DR server?

There won't be any archival of backups?

What happens if your system needs recovery, and your DR system dies?

Bankruptcy court, here we come!

I'm currently involved in a discussion about the virtues of backups to disk
AND to tape of production databases. I'm for the idea, and there are others
who are only wanting to backup to disk, and want to depend on our DR server
for any other recovery requirement. I'm looking for your thoughts on this topic. Anyone want to contribute some good reasons to g ahead and backup to
tape anyway?
