Posted on Jan 13th 2022, 1:04 Reply #9 dragontamer5788ĭragontamer5788It always amazes me how cheap tapes are: 18 TB for $170. Then, in the event of a disaster, I still have pretty much everything and can restore the backup onto a new server. I could probably run these backups once a month. With tape, I could get a 20TB tape and let my server back up to it overnight. The only option I currently have would be to back up what I can to the 8TB hard drive I have, and everything else would be lost. I have individual things like family photos and videos backed up onto archival Blu-ray discs and stored in a fire-safe, but I currently have no real way to back everything up in the event of cascading drive failures or if my server somehow got compromised by malware. Tape would pretty much be the only viable way to back up the 12.6TB of data I store on my server. You won't be accessing it randomly only in certain situations.Īs someone who has a large amount of data stored on my server, I could absolutely see myself investing in tape when I can afford to. Like if your house burns down, you could've backed up everything to a tape and kept it in a fire safe. I personally view tape as a way to store your data safely in the event of some sort of disaster. Pop quiz: how long does it take to move 18TB of data over a 300MB/s interface?The answer is about 17 hours.īut that's kind of missing the point of tape-based storage. LTO tape and USB connectivity have a significantly lower environmental impact as there is no need to have it constantly powered-on during data storage, thereby reducing CO2 emissions generated by 94% when compared to hard disk drives (HDDs).īugI must have been living under a rock, but I have never heard of UNITEX before.

LTO tape can be stored offline and off-network, creating a physical "air gap" of protection to minimize the risk of data exposure to cyber attacks. Offering protection against cyber crime.Transfer speeds with USB connection reach up to 300 MB/ second, a 25% faster than the previous USB LTO-8.
Offering up to 45 TB of storage capacity (18 TB for non-compressed data), a 50% greater capacity than LTO-8. Both half-height (HH) and full-height (FH) drives are available. You can use USB LTO-9 by connecting to laptop PCs and other USB devices to store large volumes of data anywhere, conveniently, with small IT-invested.
