Re: Is tape dead?

The death of tape is greatly exagerated. My duties today included removing 50 tapes from our Storagetek 500 tape library and sending them offsite for safe storage. These are LTO-5 cartridges that can hold up to 30 Tbyte of compressed data and it can be written on the tape with astonishing speed.

I spoke to my former employer and they are ditching tape. They want off-site replication and if they have an off-site replica they see no need for tape. Dave > -Original Message- > From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Richard > Loken > Sent: 14 September

Re: Is tape dead?

We just procured a new Overland LTO-6 library this year at work so I can tell you from direct experience that tape is not dead! Although direct-to-disk and to-tape backup cost has more or less converged from a price standpoint, there are still some nice aspects of tape ... you get practically

More testing this evening. Drive 1 ran for 8 ten-minute AJRLIA read-write passes before I stopped it, with a single error flagged during pass 6: WD1 0235 WD2 ER 4001 CB 1117 indicating a Data CRC error and a Read header without CRC command. Not completely unexpected, a lot of data is

I work for a VAR, and we've sold a fair number of IBM TS7650G ProtecTIER VTL's backed by Storewide V7000 disk. It basically emulates a bunch of LTO3 drives and cartridges, and does excellent deduplication when writing. If you have two, they'll replicate. It makes a great backup and DR

Re: Is tape dead?

For those who can't be bothered to read the article :) it basically talks about a perspective that the rise in flash arrays will kill disk arrays while tape continues to chug along as cheap reliable backup.
