Finally, I'm getting around to sorting out a server for home, to act as a NAS, a print server, and so forth. What I'm pondering though, is backups. I'm looking at having a few Tb of storage that I'd like to be able to back up, and I was thinking tape; but swapping 80-odd DAT tapes would be daft and yet even LTO-5 seems a bit small (and pricy for home use). In Ireland, we don't really have the broadband network infrastructure to do backups over the net, so tape seems an obvious choice, but I'd love to get some more experienced opinions on this. Anyone got any recommendations or thoughts?
Tape? Really? How much data are talking about? What about either: -an internet backup provider (yeah, yeah, "in the cloud") -buy a NAS box that you drop at a friend/family and remote backup there? rsync and the new tools that checksum etc... are your friends. -- Yves. http://www.SollerS.ca/ http://ipv6.SollerS.ca http://blog.zioup.org/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
