Tape backup

Ok, I know that there are ways to do this. We are looking at running a tape backup library and am wondering if anyone is backing up there cluster at the petasan level?

Ceph does provide a snapshot system and a method to export the snapshot as an independent image (we use this as part of a versioning system). So we are thinking we could get petasan to just replicate to a tape system.

Thoughts?

We do have backup support coming soon, it was meant to be after replication support released in 2.3  but due to priority changes it has been pushed, but a lot of design work is already done.  It supports backups/restores from local storage, sftp and aws out of the box, and probably with some manual setups will support tape as well.
