The price for a decent used autochanger is about half the price of
one employee for one month, which is peanuts for almost any
business.

Hi Alan,

I'm only using LTO-4 with Bacula.

We are using half inch tape.


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

We are using a Dell TL2000 library, which is a re-branded IBM 3573-TL.

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

We have been using LTO3 under Bacula for almost 10 years.  I have a brand new 
LTO6 drive that so far I have not been able to get Bacula to work with.  btape 
is happy with it, bacula instantly fails.

4:  For the robot users: What are you using? (number of drives / number

The working library is a 24 slot library with one drive.  The almost working 
library is also a TL2000 with 24 slots and an IBM ULT3580-HH6 drive.

Used to be using 2 x Sony AIT-5 drives (8 mm AIT cassettes) in a Qualstar 
RLS-4445 autochanger (45 slots; LVD SCSI connection). The system was retired 
early this year due to a mechanical failure of the autochanger. Drives are 
still operational and can be used to read old tapes, we have several hundred 
of them.

Using.

Ultrium LTO-5 Fujifilm tape cartridges.

Qualstar TLS-8466 autochanger with 2 x IBM LTO-5 ULTRIUM-HH5 SAS drives and 66 
regular slots, plus one private internal slot. Autochanger control connection 
is LVD SCSI. Bacula version 7.4.7.

Just to chime in here: I have one customer using a Quantum Superloader3 with
16 slots and 1 LTO7 drive.  Currently using Bacula community version 7.4.0.
Zero problems.

I support organizations today with the following equipment:

StorageTek Sl x with 12 LTO 6 drives and approximately y slots (New Telecom 
customer to be deployed. I might return information later if you really want 
it).
StorageTek Sl 500 with four LTO4 drives and approximately 240 slots (Army Unity 
of Brazil). 
Dell TL-2000 with two LTO5 drive and 24 slots (DATACOM GPON, Switch, and other 
network equipment manufacturer).
Dell TL-2000 with two LTO5 drive and 24 slots (North Minas Federal Insitute).
Dell TL-2000 with one LTO4 drive and 24 slots (UNESP Medicine University).
Dell TL-2000 with two LTO4 drive and 24 slots (Lagoa Santa City Hall).
Dell TL-2000 with two LTO4 drive and 24 slots (Airforce Traffic Control 
Department).
Dell TL-2000 with two LTO4 drive and 24 slots (Acre Court of Accounts) - iSCSI 
Bridge
Dell Tl-1000 with one LTO4 drive and 8 slots (ESAMC University).
Single LTO5 Drive (Shopping Center).
Single LTO4 RAck-mountable Drive (Farroupilha Federal Institute).
 
As you see, Dell is the most used equipment. I estimate only 20% of my 
customers only use disk-based solutions.
According to Google Trends, Brazil is one of the 3 countries where Bacula is 
more popular than every other backup software, including proprietary software 
with tons of marketing funding (Veeam, Netbackup, ARCserve, Commvault). If you 
make an online form of these questions I would be glad to ask people from our 
community to fill it.

I am using LTO -- I assume that is half inch tape but am not sure.

I am using an autochanger.

LTO-5

Thanks for your inquiry -- I will be very interested in the results.

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.)

Just a TS2240 tape drive. No changer or robots.

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

> 4:  For the robot users: What are you using? (number of drives / number

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.
