[Bacula-users] advice about tape drives

[Alan Polinsky]

I have used Bacula for many years, since version 5. In the past, I have 
mentioned my two Nas's along with various Windows and Linux machines get 
backed up on a nightly basis to tape. Currently that tape drive is an 
LTO3 based drive. Some of the older backups are on LTO2 tapes. My tape 
drive is starting to show its age, and within a period of time it will 
have to be replaced. (Since I am a retired programmer on a fixed income, 
cost, as always becomes an issue.) I need to understand the backward 
capabilities of more recent drives. How high could I go with LTO based 
machines while still maintaining the ability to read (and hopefully 
write) those old LTO2 tapes?

Thank you everyone for your help.


Alan
