LTO. I bought an LTO-5 system to backup 6TB of critical data and 12TB of nice-to-have data. LTO-6 is better if you can afford it.
Downside to tape backup is you need throughput, or the ability to do disk-disk backups
- dist-epoch 3y agoFor 20 TB LTO seems too expensive. 20 TB of SSD costs about $1000. Or you could get a 20 TB hard drive for $300.
- grepfru_it 3y agoDrive failure and managing those drives are hidden costs you are not considering. I have had multiple hard drives fail and been left stranded. Tape fails but not nearly as often as disks LTO6 and LTO7 are not expensive for 20TB
