Dear all,
Our houston office is going to drastically expand their disksusage
(they're aiming to have betwen 1.5T and 2T (~ 2000 Gigabytes ;) ) of
diskspace before the end of the year.
I'd like to use amanda for their setup as well (makes administrating a lot
easier if all remote offices are suing the same backup system ;) and
besides, Amanda rocks).
But the main concern I have at this point is:
What kind of backup -hardware should I recommend.
Im coinsidering an LTO tape for evry 500 G of diskspace, but that would
mean buying 4 LTO tapedrives (and 4 * 20 tapes ;) ).
An alternative would be to get a jukebox like setup (e.g the quantum atl

there's also an lto version)
Does anyone know if that puppy is supported by amanda ?
Does anyone have any recommendations for backing up this amound of data ?
[PS, I know I promised to spent time on the calcsize thingy, but the
Houston thing was taking up a lot more of my time than I had hoped ]
