For those of you maintaining your own network, what backup power systems are you using? We are looking to expand our backup power and wondered what everyone was using? Who has reliable equipment with decent runtimes that is not too terribly expensive?
Also, is anyone using tape backup to directly backup cobalt servers? If so, which vendor's equipment are you using and which model? I assume you are directly attaching SCSI tape devices to the back of the raqs? How well does direct backup of these servers work for you? Have you used these backups to restore - if so - how well did it work? Was it easy to install the tape and software?
Any help would be appreciated.
