Morning Guys Not exactly a problem, but a question. I started to do work for a small firm that has been removing legacy old kit and media as its 15+ years out of date (example: PC's acting as Servers, DDS tape drives, 3M Data Cartridges, (mini ones too!! amnd legacy Unix systems.
Now, what I was puzzled about is "how would they go about restoring this Data?", considering most of the Technology has just been removed / phased out. It got me thinking that we have 5 - 10+ year retention of Tapes for NetBackup on LTO1 tapes but no means of loading it, you do not have high hopes of restoring it. Unless you obtain an LTO1 drive. But say 30 years down the line..... then what! Chances are, NetBackup may not read it, or worse.... No NetBackup environment at all ! (Similar to the client who was using their own standard 1990's backup software that is no longer produced and in a format that cannot be read!) So really, curious how people would "protect" those essential years of Data?
