I have to backup 4 servers, each running an instance of MS SQL and I have to do it well, but inexpensively. I was going to do it this way:

1 copy of Veritas Backup Express
1 Ultrium tape drive
4 copies of Open File Agent
3 copies of Remote Agent

I was going to backup the SQL Dump devices and certain files onto the one Veritas installation. I have a 100 MBit network and the files aren’t large yet, but could grow quite large. I would consider installing 2nd NICs into each of the servers to create a seperate back up LAN segment.

Does this make sense? Is there a better way to backup SQL servers?
