Re: Cranky LTO tape drive

That, to me, is the real advantage of RDi. Both your PC and your iSeries are always current and are the back up for each other. The likelihood of losing both at the same time are quite remote. But if that is a concern, add svn to your set-up and you are pretty much guaranteed instant recovery without the hardware hassles. The bigger plus is that suddenly you are set up for team development.

in my opinion, the days of tape are, blessedly, gone the way of the quill pen, the cloth diaper, and the cathode ray tube.

In a pinch....but if something catastrophic happens I'd like to be able to restore to the most recent backup, even if it is a year old. I DO save the system before CUME's and OS version jumps, JUST in case.

I need a drive to save to, even if the data isn't important, being able to get back on my feet is still important.
