Hello Guys,
Do anyone of you use any tape drive for personal backup? I personally use a 2nd internal hard-drive where I perform nightly backups but twice a year I backup to offline media (DVD-R DL media)...but right now I'm reaching 100 GB of data...that's a bunch of data to burn! (even if it's dual layer media). I know there are HD and Blu-ray drives but they're too expensive. I think I can get a tape-drive for much mess.
I just would like to know if anyone recommends any particular tape-drive and also what software do you use with it (just plain tar?)
Thanks! Jorge
Hi Jorge, Even for tape-drives, 100GB is a huge chunk to swallow ;-) I would recommend a external USB-drive. Currently, 500GB drives go for about 100 Euro's Tape drive capable of storing this amount will be a magnitude more expensive...
