So…I was wondering. Is there any backup tape system that would be advisable to use for backing up some TBs? I guess I need it to be USB, as the server is a micro PC, one of those tiny ones you can hang from behind a monitor. It’s an HP ProDesk.

Thanks!

    Just use a spinning rust drive for periodic backup.

    Nothing you have is worth the cost of a LTO setup.

      This is the answer.

      I haven’t done the math, but even SMB’s don’t use tape today.

      They may do a local replica and then some kind of local-hardware-based cloud backup solution, because cost and capability.

        Does make you wonder who does use tape? Id assume big businesses just use cloud, so who is left that uses tape?
