now at our office we use HP DAT72 which is absolute in the market, and it is so difficult to find its tapes. we use HP DAT72 for three reasons
(1) disaster recovery.
(2) Data Archive (delete from file server).
(3) Project library (after we complete a project, we copy all the project files into tape).
now we are thinking to change the backup tape drive with new one, what do you recommended for me?
what do i have to do with our old archive tapes (HP DAT72 tapes)? do i have to transfer them to new tapes after changing the tape drive? or i can use the DAT72 tapes with the new tape drive?
my boss always is asking me, why we do not backup data on CDs? my answer always more reliable and the tape can save for long time, is my answer right?
