- I am interested in any experience DOMAIN users may have with 8mm and 4mm tape
- for archiving user data files.
-
- Two options we are looking at are
-
- 8mm 5.GB tape
-
- 4mm data with compression subsystem.
-
- The vendor who has this is known as TFI out of S. Portland, ME.
- Their prices on the 8mm are much better than that from HP Direct.
-
- My questions are:
-
- 1) Does anyone have experience with using these for WBAKing/TARing
- user files? I am particularly interested in the 4mm with
- compression because of cost and claimed capacity (8GB).
- I would be curious if anyone using this has measured
- how much they actually get.
-
- 2) Experience with TFI as a vendor.
-
- 3) Other recommended sources.
-
- 4) Other recommended options for archiving.
-
- Thanks in advance
- Bob Kirkman
