That was a lot more than I paid for 24 slot my LTO2 autochanger and 70
x 200GB tapes and management with bacula is minimal. I spend 2 hours a
year managing this 15TB+ of data. Although there is no offsite backups
mainly because if the hospital I work for burned down we would no
longer need the data...
