- chrisseaton 6y agoI don't think these are home-use concerns.
- martyvis 6y agoActually nearly every enterprise backup system my company has deployed in the last 5 years is tapeless. Most systems involve snapshot backup management that are replicated across multiple disc/SSD systems. (I'm the network guy, so not my focus area)
