Tape Storage - How do I setup a tape backup system for use with my NAS
- by John Himmelman
I currently have a QNAP NAS with a raid 5 config (~600gb storage) but don't have a reliable backup solution. I've heard great things about tape backup systems (reliability, durability, etc..).
How can I go about setting up a tape backup system? The tape drives seem very expensive (1k+ for a decent one, more than the price of my NAS). What are the important specs to compare and features to take into consideration?
Edit: Does anyone have links to some good resources? There is a ton of articles, guides, and sites on this subject, not sure where to start.
