>>It is not uncommon at all to only send DR tapes to a single
source...Keep in mind that some enterprises literally send thousands of
tapes offsite per day, to replicate this to allow for errors by the
offsite provider is not an option.<<

I think the point was missed.  Backups are not a one time occurrence.
They happen on a regularly scheduled basis.  We make incremental backups
daily with full backups on a longer term basis.


IM did not say they lost all of the backup tapes for an organization,
they lost a single shipment.  Big difference.
