Morning!

I'd like to get advice from you on a good backup solution using the best or most suitable technology for all the machines we administer
at work. Here is the situation:

Currently we have two data centers: one is local and the other is remote at a co-location. 

Machines in local server room:

BSD         15
SUN          5
NT/W2K    10

Machines in the remote center:

BSD        15
NT/W2k    25

Currently I am only doing backups using DLT 7000 on critical machines (AIT seems better with bigger capacity and cheaper price?), as you know, it will become a big problem as the company grows or when I make a false judgment on which machines are critical.  Scalability and reliability are very important to us.  Using jukboxes seems to be a very good solution. Has any of you have experience with using juckboxes? 


What would you do?
Many thanks in advance. 

Regards,
Meagan
