Nothing can beat tapes for offline backup.
Price per capacity is way cheaper than backup to disk.
Some enterprise did use disk to disk backup but they will have another layer that make a copy to tapes.
yes, the cheapest form of offline backup.Price per capacity is way cheaper than backup to disk.
Some enterprise did use disk to disk backup but they will have another layer that make a copy to tapes.
it then will be transferred to another building (not within 50km radius) for safe keeping.
this will rotate usually on weekly basis.
reason for this remote backup is that even if company got nuke or got 911ed, still can rebuild from offsite backup tapes.
i suspect that is how it got lost, when moving tapes to remote site.
anyhow, nowadays got better solution, veeam for example, but definitely cost way more than tapes.
