Hi all,
I am curious as to how your companies handle the backup administration role. At what point do you decide to hire your first or another backup admin?
I currently have about 100 servers and 3-6 TBs of data to backup. 2 NetApp VTL's at 2 locations with 2 Storagtek SL500 libraries attached. This is not my sole responsibility. It is getting a little hard trying to balance backup administration and being a sys admin to our production environment.
So basically, what is your backup admin to data/server ratio? Please feel free to post any thoughts on the general topic.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

That sounds spookily familiar - do we work in the same place?!!
