I have about 8tb of data, only 2-4 needs backup but isn't.
Found this at an absolute steal and they were even kind enough to throw in 10 tapes!
It's an ibm ts3100 LTO 5 HH drive LC fiber connection which I'm missing the hba for. Also the server rails. But it stores 24 tapes! And now my 321 backup is finally coming together. (I ordered another LTO 6 drive for it that hopefully works, it was untested)
I'll need to migrate unraid to a virtual environment under proxmox as proxmox supports these libraries and I think I'll use BAREOS but I have no idea how to do a backup tape library manager(help is appreciated)
my unraid I do plan to swap for truenas but I don't have the storage to suddenly do that and transfer everything to a temp. But it has about 2tb-4tb of data that needs a backup.
What should my proper 321 backup be?
How often should I backup the nas? I'm thinking weekly for a basic status change, full data backup monthly, and every 3 months a cold backup (keep past year in storage, rotate out oldest) and every 6months I update off-site (storing tapes at someone's house. Will also keep 2 copies there. The 6 month old, and the 12 month old. rotate out oldest)
I'm just spit balling here but what do you think would be a good Nas backup strategy if you had access to cheap LTO tapes?
