With Google Workspace cracking down on storage (Been using them for unlimited storage for years now) I was lucky to get a limit of 300TBs, but now I have to actually watch what gets stored lol
A good portion is uh "Linux ISOs", but the rest is very seldom (In many cases last access was years ago) accessed files that I think would be perfect for tape archival. Things like byte-to-byte drive images and old backups. I figure these would be a good candidate for tape and estimate this portion would be about 100TBs or more
But I've never done tape before, so I'm looking for some purchasing advice and such. I seen from some of my research that I should target picking up an LTO8 drive as it's compatible with LTO9 for when they come down in price.
And then it spiraled from there with discussions on library tape drives that are cheaper but need modifications and all sorts of things
Fr, the foldy phones have been the biggest good innovation in like a decade. Unfortunately, now I'm stuck, I've had a taste and I can't go back now. It's like moving up to multiple monitors and then trying to go back to a single monitor setup after awhile
