The SuperCopier® Desktop Pro Gen-2 with 16 SAS/SATA Ports is an industrial and an extremely fast, multiple purpose hard drive duplication unit. IT best practices aren't practiced around here, so please give it to me with both barrels if need be.SuperCopier Gen 2 16 Port Duplicator with S.M.A.R.T. A 500GB hard drive is much cheaper than tape, and since the media will be rotated on a monthly basis it doesn't have to have a 5 year shelf life. Since I'm using ZFS on Solaris, another thought would be sending daily snapshots to a folder and then backing that directory up on either tape or 2.5 HD.

One thought I had is using rsync to direct incremental backups to a daily directory and then making two full copies of that directory to tape. I was thinking of a LTO5 tape duplicator, but this thing is $19k, and won't get approved. I also need copies of those here in case we need to recover files off of tape. ಠ_ಠĪnyway, boss man wants to take home a full backup once a month and then daily incrementals. To give you an idea of what I'm dealing with, months after we started off-site tape rotation, I found out that the off-site storage location was the trunk of my boss' car. I've had to hold this network together with spit and bailing wire for quite a few years now. He's an honest guy and won't lie to the client about our capabilities, but his thriftiness make the Scotch look like free-spending drunken sailors. As a result he's now motivated to do something about it.
My boss was grilled by a major client of ours about offsite backup.
For a very small company, we generate ass loads of new data on a daily basis. I work for a graphics company, so 10GB Photoshop files are the rule, not the exception. I have an Overland Neo4000e tape library hooked up to my Sun v480 with two LTO5 drives in the chassis. In that light, take what I say with a grain of salt and feel free to call me a fucking dumbass if it's warranted. I proudly wear the banner of the Shittiest SysAdmin on r/sysadmin.
