Hello,
I am working with an LTO-4 tape library. It has two drives but I plan to write to only one for backups.
I will backup to disk first, on another SD. Later, I will copy the jobs to the tape library on this new SD which is on another server. The copy jobs will be spooled to local SSD before being written to tape.
Now what I'm thinking of is streaming multiple concurrent jobs to a single drive.
Sure, downside on restore is interleaving of blocks....
I don't see any downsides to going down this path. I have yet to run any copy jobs to the new library, but it may be ready this week.
Comments?
