Enterprise Migration to Tapeless Backup System via incremental Rsync and deduplication
Client had 7 offices each connected via a T1. Each office had a Windows 2003 server with nightly backups via tape. Each system had roughly 100 Gigabyes of data to backup. Existing issues were that complete automation was impossible because individual office managers had to replace tapes, recovery was slow and required searching individual tapes for the correct data, and the high cost of gigabyte tapes.
