Take a directory, dump it to tape, and it will live forever (roughly 5-10 years) on tape. And the copy on disk will be deleted. But if needed, we could pull the copy back from tape. We could possibly write 2 copies to tape for redundancy.
I already use bacula to protect over 100TB of spinning disk. But i have multiple TB of data that my users "might" want to use again, but most likely they don't need it. Does that help?
