Re: LTO Tape Backup Recommendations

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

It looks like your server has only 6 disk drives of 35 GB each. If they
happen to be mirrored, then it appears your backup would fit on a pair of
70 GB tapes. Do you really need a tape library? Or would a single tape
drive suffice?
