Last week I was searching for a solution how to do "Cloud Backup" in a datacenter. This is not directly related to WebDAV, but what other reliable file protocol would anyone use when storing file based data on a remote storage solution - especially if the storage solution is something "in the cloud" like Amazon S3 or similar.
Well, the first question was about how to do a good Windows 2003 / Windows 2008 backup - eventually with Microsoft Data Protection Manager (Microsoft DPM) - when there is no tape infrastructure. All the Microsoft tools want to have some kind of tape. But tapes in datacenter clouds... not good.
Here's what I have found last week, I am now running a test pilot but it looks like a perfect solution: Virtual Tape Driver.
Firestreamer Virtual Tape Driver for Microsoft Data Protection Manager / Microsoft Backup
It supports not only all kind of physical media but also network shares, NAS and.... WebDAV.
Maybe some of you may have the same situation and this information could help.
