Dear bacula-users,
We are planning to buy a new backup-hardware and are thinking of an
internal Quantum DLT V4 (160 /320 GB capacity) unit. Are there any
positive responses about using this piece of hardware with bacula?
Nice to see that you came to the right decision :-)
:-) Yes, DDS is not sufficient any more...
Thanks for any comments on this.
I see no problems with the drives and Bacula. But make sure your
server can stand the extra power consumption and heat production - I
usually recomment external devices, and there are resons...
What I have seen on the net is the fact that external DLT-Drives are
nearly double priced than internal drives... where I originally was
thinking about an internal drive inside a HP proliant-server with 4
SATA-RAID disks in. So the drive would feel like a sandwich in between
the hdds and the cdrom.
Well, the price is one thing, but I'd rather pay once and have no
trouble than to save some money and have problems lateron. After all,
after some years, 2000 EUR more or less don't count much, but having
lost data, or having to replace parts of your computers can easily
amount to much more than that. And I'm not talking about the time you
spend to locate problems, talk to the manufacturers, etc. Especially
when you don't buy a good service plan, which I suppose you will not :-)
Is there any specific DLT-external drive you could highly recommend?
Damn, usually I'm paid for that sort of advice...
:-)
I found not much of a difference between (S)DLT drives from different
manufacurers. I usually recommend Quantum drives.
Arno
best regards in advance
Stephan
