[OpenIndiana-discuss] Tape backup

[Achim Wolpers]

Hi!

I considere to backup my data on a tape drive off my OI box. Now I face a couple of questions:

1. Which drive is recommended to work with OI? I'd like to use 800GB tapes
2. Since I plan to use the tapes for long time backup, is the a way to store the data with some kind of redundancy (like  RAID-Z), so that when parts of the tape might get corrupted over time, the data can still be restored?

Thanks,
Achim
