Yes .. on the other hand when we look at DASD manufacturers numbers .. you
wonder why some of us are looking for larger time frame for backup ...
the numbers say that we need few minutes to save few teras
Ok it is friday :-))
IMHO it's quite obvious: 10 years ago you had 10GB cart and you needed,
let's say 3 hours to backup your 0.x TB DASD. Today you have 500GB cart
and ...still need 3 hours, because your DASD also grew up. Did your
business grew as the storage ? I strongly doubt.
This is the same like in popular (in Poland) IT anecdote: in 1986 our
secretary needed PC XT and 640kB RAM to print one page document. After
many years she has Pentium 4, 1GB RAM, 100+ GB disk and she ...still use
it is typing machine.
(translation is not exact, but the idea is obvious)
