LTO3 or AIT4

[nicholab]

What backup tape should we go for with are disk to disk to tape back up solution LTO3 or AIT4?

I think a would be quite nice Quantum Superloader 3 - LTO-3 16 slots.

How much you backing up?

[john]

LTO3 will come up most on here, well LTO3,2 &1

[nicholab]

Full backup would be about 400-600GB

LTO 3 then in an autoloader setup. DB and others have Tandberg setups that they are very pleased with.

do you have preference to which brand of tapes you use?

LTO3 here, we've found it much more reliable than the old AIT3's we were using.

LTO3 all the way, it's exceptionally reliable for a tape system. We had the quantum LTO3 tape changer at my last school, although we only had one tape carousel for it, so it only held 8 tapes which was more than enough. It makes some strange noises when it works, but does the job well; 2 years of operation and not a single hardware fault!

I wish we had LTO - These AIT tapes are doing me head in!
