I agree. I administer a MSCS at my site and have just attended MSCS admin training. There is NO option. You MUST have the external storage device and preferably fibre channel.

While this works OK, it was deemed necessary to install an additional pair of disks for a particular...
I have a DLT7000 with 7 tape autoloader. Operation works reasonably well except for speed. ANY network resource that gets backed up is only operating at around 20mb per min. THis is just too slow for the amount of data I have to deal with (> 100gb). I have implemented the Veritas recommendation...
