Folks,
I'm currently doing backup's (project data etc.) onto an external SCSI DDS3
4mm DAT tape, therefore maximum uncompressed tape capacity 12GB, compressed
24GB. It's an Ultra 1 (i.e. no IDE bus) running Solaris 8. The project
partition being backed up has a size of 57GB but the actual amount of data
hasn't yet exceed the capacity of 1 tape but soon will, so I'm looking at
the future backup options. The most obvious seems to be to use the SUN 4mm
DDS-3 autoloader, which has a capacity of 6 tapes, giving the ability to
backup up to 144GB (compressed). I would appreciate any information anyone
could share with me on the above proposed autoloader e.g. reliability,
compatibility with OS built-in utilities such as ufsdump, ease-of-use, value
for money etc. Any recommendations on a superior strategy to the one
described above (taking into account the scenario which I have described)
would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
John Kelly.
