What are you using for backup software?  Is your Data Domain licensed for VTL?

Need more info.

<div>
Using BackupExec 2010 R2; yes we are licensed for VTL.<br />
<br />
We do not have a FC switch, but there are two FC ports on the box. It's a DD630<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Oh don't worry about the lack of FC switch, you just need to connect both devices to your media server.

We just setup a Data Domain backup system and it is working great; however we still have a need to archive to tape. (don't ask, its archaic)<br />
<br />
We don't have money to purchase a separate data domain to replicate data off site; but we have a need to keep large volumes of data for extended periods of time. Can someone point me to some resources that would allow me to perform routine backups of our backup data domain and write the data to LTO 4 tape?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Data Domain dump to Tape

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

Disaster Recovery

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
