Mid-Size Business Tape Library Suggestions?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday March 25, 2006 @03:30PM from the new-backup-technology-wanted dept.

MPankau asks: "My current company is quickly outgrowing our current tape library and I'm looking for some advice on where to start looking. We backup approximately 12TB of data per night with about 3TB of that going to a disk backup on an EMC Clarion CX600. We're primarily looking for something that will give us some room for growth and be cost effective. What tape formats and library solutions would Slashdot readers recommend? Also, are there any other data backup solutions out there that may be better than tape?"

12tb to Tape by chivo243 · 2006-03-25 22:31 · Score: 0, Flamebait

YIKES, your company likes to live dangerously.... put the tape idea on the floor, back away slowly, close the door, and lock it, lose the key and never think about it again... that much data to back up and it will grow.... seek the advice of a professional back up expert to come up with these solutions, I can't believe anyone in this day and age will still recomment to use tape.
