Tier 1: LiveBackup
As changes are made, backups are saved to the cache and then sent to the server
Network friendly
Boot CD/DVD can be made to restore a system from a blank hard drive

Features include:
Synthentic Full
After the first backup, only the changes need to be sent over the network.
Less storage is required as you dont need to keep multiple full dumps around
Tape encryption
Good admin interface for doing restores
Unfortunately
Current version (v4.0) doesnt support mutual authn and so cant deploy until the
beta (v4.1) mutual auth is released.
Doesnt scale well horizontally yet (though rumors are things are getting better on
this front in 4.1).

PowerVault
132T
Single Dell 2850 with locally attached tape drives as the primary TiNA server
Disk backup is added via NFS mount of RAID from the Storage nodes (dont want to put too many
SCSI devices on a single box)
Off-site backup is done via tape to the tape library (for now)
Network interface to campus/clients is a single Gigabit ethernet connection on VLAN10.
Network interface to storage is a single Gigabit ethernet connection to the high speed A100
internal network VLAN. This needs to be created by NG.
Each storage node will have one service connection (VLAN10) and one connection to the high
speed A100 internal network VLAN. NFS traffic will not go over the service connection.
