Hi Dave,
Wanted to let you know that the Cache-A system will connect to servers, and will let you pull data off of them.
The config is not exactly straightforward. For example I can't get AFP connections to work in this office here - but I am able to get NFS connections to work. This has let me remove one of the major bottlenecks in our archiving process (coping the data to its internal drive).
This isn't meant to be a ringing endorsement of the Cache-A setup - I just wanted to let you know that it IS possible to have it connect to a server and pull data from there.
In an ideal world, I would love if it could connect to our ISIS and pull directly from that.
Sounds like BRU is an interesting setup. Does it run on Mac as well as PC? Not sure I'm up for the task of migrating all of our Cache-A LTOs over to a different system. But if BRU's ability to search for files after they are archived is better that the Cache-A's built in search… well, that's a major selling point as far as I'm concerned.
Regards,
Jeff

I am not sure, but don't you also have to copy to the Cache's internal HDs to do a backup to tape? IIRC they start at 7 to 8 thousand for a basic system, and go up to 15 thousand for a normal setup. They are also not as fast as stand-alone drives.
