Dear List,
We've been using Bacula with a quantum i80 dual drive LTO-5 library
for a while now, and it has been working great since we deployed a bit
more than three years ago. I have to thank the developers for creating
and releasing such a great tool. It has been rock solid and improved
the speed of our backups considerably and also is way nicer to manage
than the previous proprietary solution.
Due to an increase in the data volume we have to backup the current
library is not enough so the plan is to upgrade the library for a dual
drive LTO-7 one, most likely an HP msl 4048. I was wondering if
someone in the list has any experience running Bacula on one of these
(good or bad)? I think there shouldn't be any issue, but I rather ask
first, just in case :)
All of HP's changers are rebadged Quantum or Overland/Tandberg devices
and both makers libraries work fine with bacula (I've used both, and
HP-branded stuff too)
However, you could just as easily add LTO7 drives into your i80 (or wait
a couple of months and install LTO8) - talk to Quantum and see what
they'll charge you to take this option. The design lifespan of the
changer itself is _much_ longer than that of the drive
Regards,
Iñaki
