Re: [ARSCLIST] Looking for LTO Help
Since we are in a similar situation here, at least myself, if not others
on this list too, I would also like to know experiences both good and
bad about LTO tape backup and anyone who has had to retrieve digital
audio files from LTO. It is possible in the near future we may lose our
server space( both by internal politics and/or physical breakdown)
before we can get access to a new server and only have LTO as our
backup, so this is very important information for us. Thanks for any
help on this subject.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Looking for LTO Help
We are looking to steeping up our Digital file preservation system.
Currently we are at the multiple server and NAS level. We are growing
at a
large rate and we think it may be time to start looking at other
options.
We are looking for an In-house managed system.
We are strongly considering adding an LTO or other tape backup format to
the
system.
Is anyone who has experience with LTOs or other tape backup formats
willing
to share there knowledge with us?
Please contact off list, I will be passing you along to our collections
manager/ IT / programmer.
If there are others who have interest in what we decided to do, I will
be
happy to write a little something up about what we finally do and about
our
reasoning.
Thank you in advance.
