RE: What Was Discussed At the Big LUG Meeting

If you're seriously looking at upgrading tape also I have to say that VTL
is the only way to fly.
To test that BRMS restore on an earlier thread did not require me to call
Iron Mountain, wait for delivery, load multiple tapes, or even get out of
my seat. And ran in mere seconds.

Some people may argue that the cost per byte of tape is significantly
less. It may be. However, whoever fills up all their tapes? So you've
got this $150 tape holding some small amount of archive data that you're
going to retain forever. That, and the VTL's have some awesome deduping
which significantly reduces physical space consumed.
