Straw poll time for people using tape-based systems



HP 1/8 LTO-6 FC Autoloader.

8 slots, 1 drive, and using Fibre-channel connects.

Runs like a screaming meemy without needing such fripperies as SSD spool 
disks or vast amounts of RAM.  On a now elderly Fujitsu TX-150 with 8Gb 
of RAM running Solaris 10.  (Being moved to an RX-300 with 72Gb running 
Solaris 11.3 over the next few months.)


Cheers,

To answer, I had to look that up.  I know it covers LTO, DLT and SDT.

> 2:   Who on this list is NOT using a robot or changer device?

I have one external DLT 7000 tape drive, kept in reserve.

> 3:  For the half inch tape formats, what are you using?

DLT IV - 292 tapes, kept for archive, will start disposal sometime.
SDLT - 166 tapes

 (The above: not writing any new tapes, these are scheduled for disposal)

LTO 4 - 45 tapes

Digital DLT MiniLibrary (Model DS-TL891-NE) 
http://www.freebsddiary.org/digital-tl891.php 
10 slots - one DLT 7000, perhaps 
two. I have a few spare DLT 7000 drives here

Compaq Storage Works MSL5026 Library
one SDLT tape drive: COMPAQ SuperDLT1 with 2 magazines for 30 slots (I think).

Dell PowerVault TL4000 - two LTO4 drives with 4 magazines for 48 slots

1.    I am NOT using a tape-based system, half-inch or otherwise. 
Nightly backups are written to hard disk drives and then copied to a 
cloud drive.


2. Likewise, I am NOT using a robot or changer.

I think I can answer all of those with one statement:  I am using a
single stand-alone external LTO4 drive.


I can't realistically justify the cost of a newer drive or a robot.  But
honestly, I'd prefer to get away from tape altogether, for reasons
including noise, media lifecycle, and environmental sensitivity.
