“I love our Laser Vault. It has made our backup routine almost unnoticeable by continuing to run, working great with IBM’s BRMS.
We have it performing our daily, weekly, and monthly saves. I would not want to go back to before we had ViTL.”
– Derek Matlock, Imperial Trading
“Overall, ViTL has made our IBM i backups more reliable and convenient. No more tape I/O errors. No more using multiple tapes when saving and restoring one large library. Gone are the days of driving to our offsite tape vault. The convenience of running backups and restores remotely is immeasurable.
The support staff is always prompt and helpful.
I highly recommend switching from physical tape to ViTL.”
– System Administrator, Transportation Management Company
