Hello,
We're in the process of configuring a new TSM server in an offsite location,
and we need to decide on the tape technology that we're going to use.
Some information on our backup mechanism : we do use collocation, and use
incremental forever (we never take full backups). Some of our file servers
are huge, and contain 500.000 - 1.000.000 files.
LTO seems to be a very good solution (data rate, capacity,...) but I am
afraid that the "streaming" effect (instead of the 3590 start/stop) will
cause full volume restores to take forever.
Is there anyone who want to share some information on the tradeoff between
start/stop and streaming versus price?
Thanks, Luc.
