It'll get that big, it's just too slow for larger environments. Remember
unless you have the internal drive on a P7 it's using USB 2.0 on Power7 and
USB 3.0 on Power8.

From a quick look, it appeared RDX is up to 1.5TB...

Though I'm just assuming that 1.5TB is supported on Power..

RDX is a good choice for very small systems, but starts to get too small

I don't see anything in the specs of that device that would lead me to
believe it could be used to backup IBM i.

I personally wouldn't trust my business server to just NAS. I'd want
something I can ship off-site or at least store in a fireproof media
safe.

I'd look at either tape or RDX for a small system...

I'm ready to purchase a backup solution for a 9405 520.
I have seen NAS devices in the past. I'm wondering if they are a
good
solution for a
small i5. This is one I have seen:
LENOVO Iomega ix2 2-Bay 4TB NAS-2 x 2TB, Ethernet Port Interface,
Supports
RAID, 1x USB 3.0 Port, 2 x USB 2.0 Ports, Device to Device Data
Replication, Cloud
Technology -70A69001NA-70A69001NA-CA

Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about them?

If I didn't go that route what tape drive would someone recommend?
Probably in the
LT04 or LT05 . I don't feel a need to spend a lot of money for the
latest
and greatest.
Even a used one would probably do.

They have quite a few models. I'd like to hear from people that have
good
experience
as well as bad so I don't have problems with backups all the time.

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
