This is not about backups, this is about archiving.
For arguments sake lets say I have 2TB 7z file that I would like to archive to tape. I have 4 LTO-5 tapes ( 1.5TB each ). This may be a stupid question but what set up would I need that would allow me to drag and drop those files directly onto those 2 tapes and would automatically split the file accross 2 tapes like so:
------------------
| Copy 1 |
| 1.5TB |
------------------
------------------
| Copy 1 |
| 0.5TB |
------------------
------------------
| Copy 2 |
| 1.5TB |
------------------
------------------
| Copy 2 |
| 0.5TB |
------------------
I just want to be able to specify which files go on which tapes as oppose to backups where the tapes just rotate.
Thanks.
