Hi Everyone,
Have need for a tape backup, the server does not have a SCSI controller and do not have the budget to add one.
I need a low cost backup solution, that includes looking at both the price of the drive as well as the price of the media for it. We currently have SCSI DAT72 on another system that is about to be phased out, so leaning hard to stay with DAT72 just so we don’t have to invest in new tapes for a bit.
I have seen several tape backups listed online in the 500 to 700 range, some by HP looked good to me.
My question is, has anyone had any personal success or failure using either SATA or USB drives?
Both fit my budget (which is almost nothing). Not a lot being backed up and done at night, so I don’t care about the speed of the backup. Just want one that will be dependable.
The server is a low end HP running Windows Server8.
Thanks in advance for your input.
