Sarcasm? Me... NEVER. <Grin>
Sorry friend, just not used to a technician using the word popular when
shopping. Maybe it is my DC centric view... My apologies for not
understanding you.
We migrated all of our backup tape off of DLT -> LTO2 last year.
LTO3 is the latest and greatest but you really need to consider COST and
storage of the data. We have to store our data for 10+ years. Go through
200 tapes a year @ each of our (3) sites and we are considered a small
site.
LTO2 tapes cost $30 each
LTO3 tapes are $100 each
DLT /shrug no knowledge of current pricing or their shelf life.
