I’m looking at replacing 4 different backup systems with a single
solution that can backup Windows (server and desktop), Linux and Unix.
Bacula is currently very high up the list but there’s one make or
break requirement, which is tape backups.
Due to the number of systems we need to backup, we need a decent sized
tape library (40+ tapes) that can handle 3 or 4 tape drives and LTO 6
tapes.
Can anyone recommend suitable hardware that will work with Bacula
without too much swearing and cursing being required?
We are running a Quantum Neolib 24s with one LTO-9 drive.
You can use this lib and install up to 2 drives (LTO what you like). I
would definetly recommend to use LTO-9 drives, as the money you spend is
easily and fast recovered by the number of tapes you need, and you will
probably use it for a long time. Going with an old tape just does not
make sense. However, the Neolib can use different tapes so you can also
start with an "older" internal drive and upgrade later.
As the Neolib has two cardridges, you can install different tapes, too.
Bacula works fine with it, if you hack the changer script. There will be
a new one probably from Bill in the near future that has more options
and works out of the box, but for now you just have to comment out a
time out with the Neolib.
The Neo is availabel with up to 80 drives, so plenty of space here.
Cheers
