It would be perfect if the more high-end backup devices weren't so |
| 14 |
pricey. My guess would that the tape size of a (cheap) DLT or LTO would |
| 15 |
be so small that it would take days to backup with close to 1Tb. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
avg size of a cheap DLT from ebay 20/40, so thats ~20Gb if you're |
| 18 |
talking mp3s. 1024Gb / 20Gb = 52 tapes. I wouldn't spend 5 days changing |
| 19 |
tapes only to start the backup again next week :D plus the price of even |
| 20 |
those old tapes would be a worry at that number. |

I know this wasn't my thread, but I'm always interested in backup |
| 23 |
solutions that don't cost a packet, so I thought I'd chime in :) |
