All,
I am looking to cold-store about 25tb of video along with the normal user data. We are full-time RVrs and the continuous movement increases the risk of a full crash, risking all of my data. My wife would be less than pleased. In an attempt for a happy marriage, I wanted to purchase a tape drive for simple cold backups. I would do a full backup followed by an incremental every month or so, rotating them. I'd also do a full data backup and mail the tape(s) to a friend for safe keeping.
I am just not sure how to connect an LTO. Suggestions?
- The NAS has USB, gigabit RJ45s (CAT6), and a USB, a PCIE expansion slot.
- All of the drives seem to have SAS connections.
I honestly thought that this would be 15 minute no-brainer. would have thought that this illustrious group of data-centric technocrats would have 15 fully documented methods. Instead, there is nothing at all.
I would appreciate your advice.
