Tape backups are performed on a Overland NEO8000. Full backups are run monthly and level backups nightly. Special needs backups, including hourly, can be run for the cost of the storage media. The cost of a 600 gigabyte tape is $80.
Full backup tapes are stored off site. Recoveries can be performed by calling the Service Request desk at 88925. If the tape is in the library, the restore can typically be done same day. If the tape is stored off-site the turn-around time may be longer. When turning in your service request, please communicate the needed turn-around time to the service request desk.
