Have a look at some used LTO4 tape-drives ~40$ they can store up to 1.6TB per Tape (compressed) and are the perfect thing to offline your data.

- ggeorgovassilis 6y agoThanks. I looked at the specifications; it's not clear how that would connect to the server. All SATA ports are taken and USB is too slow (estimated 72 hours) for a full backup and would require 6-8 tape changes.
- oarsinsync 6y agoGood, cheap, fast. Pick two.
- nix23 6y agoUsed PCIe Fiber card or cloud-something like Tarsnap or Backblaze? BTW: For Tape it's REALLY important to have a steady Dataflow, too slow like USB is a big NONO, you NEED something like SAS/SATA or Fibre. The tape can but should not stop and wait for new data to be written. EDIT: Well then look at LTO5 (double cap)...LTO6 is probably still too expensive.
