Disk to Tape

WebHosting UK offers stand alone direct attached DLT systems, along with a network attached tape systems including a Legato Tape backup solution (AIT) with a 40 bay tape library and Web Hosting UK Datacenter Tape backup solution (DLT) connected to a Sun L180 tape array.

WebHosting UK offers stand alone direct attached DLT systems for customers that need maximum security and customer owned media. Our technicians will manually rotate your tapes once you log into our online portal and fill out our automated reminder system. This system emails our NOC technicians when a tape rotation is due and must be acknowledge once the tape has been physically rotated. Our guarantee is simple, if we miss your manual tape rotation; your tape rotation service is free for the month.

The Legato Tape backup system is mounted to our internal network on a private IP scheme for all services located at WebHosting UK. This system is a cost effective shared tape system with high security. Our tapes are kept in a secure private suite and are rotated offsite when not in the tape robotic library. The Legato system can backup data according to the service you request at specified intervals (daily, weekly, monthly) and log into your dedicated server twice monthly to view disk space and verify data integrity. A small client loaded on the dedicated server allows the end user to restore at any moment by clicking on files and restore. Our NOC staff is available 24/7/365 for any questions concerning backup and restore.

Our enterprise tape backup system utilizes Web Hosting UK Datacenter and requires secondary NIC cards in each web server to connect to our private network. Our robotic tape library holds over 180 Ultrium DLT tapes with terabytes of capacity and is driven by multiple Sun 420r servers. The sky is the limit on options you may select. Cost effective tape backups can be achieved by sharing media with other clients (it’s secure of course) or you can purchase your own tape media to place into our robotic library. Either way, the outcome produces a reliable tape arching system. Offsite tape storage is available coupled with disaster recovery options that allow for cold/hot practice restores. Our ORBIT system also provides a secure online customer portal that allows the customer to perform backup and recovery from the web.
