I'm a sysadmin for a company in Atlanta GA, and I'm looking for a company that will store weekly rotations of my backup tapes. I had a company called SafeSite (back in 1997) that did this, but I can't seem to find anyone out there now that does it. Any ideas, suggestions, etc? Basically, what I'm looking for (what I had before) is someone who will drop by the office once a week, pick up a package of tapes, and drop off the previous package. Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide.

Have you tried the banks? They have safe deposit boxes or vaults. I guess your own people will have to carry the tapes.

Does your company have multiple sites? You might just want to fed-ex between sites and do it that way - that way no matter which building burns down they will have a backup stored somewhere...

Nope, just this one site right now. I believe that I've found a place (Arkus), but I'm waiting on a call back.

I just take mine home with me. That's the cheapest solution, though probably not the best.

That's the solution that I've been using, but management doesn't feel that it's an 'adequate' solution.
