When I do backups, cost per TB is irrelevant. The important factors are: * Scalable. If the backup exceeds the size of a single disk or tape, robot automatically continues on the next media. Job gets done, and doesn't sit there saying "insert next media, press enter to continue" * Reliable. I don't have any hard data to support tape versus hard disk reliability after shelf life in a safe deposit box or storage facility. But tapes are built for that, and hard disks aren't, so I have superstition. * Fast and removable. Not sure if either media has an advantage here. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
