QUOTE(acbc @ Nov 13 2017, 09:51 PM) Tapes? 20 years out of date. Ehh... No matter what, it is still using backup tapes.Banks are known to use outdated tech like mainframes and ultra low capacity hard drives like the IBM 3390.  |

QUOTE(Quantum Geist @ Nov 13 2017, 10:44 PM) Magnetic tapes are for long term backup as they tend to hold huge capacity for storage, lasts a very loong time in proper condition, and relatively cheap compared to other medias. And other criteria in IT audit u need to have disaster recovery, where u need to transfer to backup server area at least 10km from ur data center.It's SOP for a majority of corporation as a reliable backup media. The more you know people So someone screw up or drop it during transfer. That guy sure in deep shit when doing transfer backup tape. If uncompressed, lagi teruk. And those who said backup tape is outdated, what to do where they only backup prawns. |
