Its time to re-evaluate the backup situation. My previous offsite backup (relatives place remote server) is no longer an option. So its time to evolve.
I have about 250TB Unraid that I think I should take to a LTO setup. (Somehow...) And what I am thinking I want to do is to have some tape that I backup to once (or twice) a year and store offsite... and then another set of tapes that does more of a monthly backup and stays onsite.
Given the amount of data I think LTO makes the most sense. But I honestly have no idea what to look for hardware, or software wise, or how to approach the matter in order to accomplish my goal. Do i need a desktop drive connected to PC running software there? Or a tape library in a rack? or????
