Seriously, Tape-Only Backup Systems Are Dead

Abstract: 

If you're performing LAN-based backups directly to today's tape drives, you're doing nothing but shooting yourself in the foot. The good news is that a number of vendors have worked very hard on disk-based solutions that solve all these problems. This talk will sift through your options while offering many stories of real people who have actually made their backup system faster and more reliable by using one or more these disk-based options.

W. Curtis Preston is well known to LISA audiences, and has spoken at several LISA shows over the years. He's been a data protection specialist for 13 years, and is known to his friends as "Mr. Backup." He's the author of the O'Reilly books Backup & Recovery and Using SANs and NAS, and has hundreds of articles to his credit as well.
