Getting into Storage
Recently at my organization we ran out of room on our backup tapes, which was both good and bad. Good because it allowed for a tape library and less messing around with tapes once I get the library and schedules and things figured out, and bad because we had to finagle a 2 tape backup configuration in the meantime.
Backups are getting done, but it has been quite the on going experience with the new Quantum SuperLoader.
The point of this post I guess is that I am slowly becoming a storage junkie, and that learning the best way to efficiently store data.
It appears that the speed of backups with the new library is quite improved… still not perfect, but as I get a handle on it surely the performance and efficiency will improve.
If anyone, storage junkie or not, has any suggestions please pass them along. I am curious to know more about storage and backup.
I also wanted to thank the Microsoft Storage team for linking my blog. Hopefully I will learn from that blog to help this blog improve.
