| It doesn't have to be any specific brand or model. As far as I know, any tape drive that appears on Windows Hardware Compatibility List (and even a lot of the ones that don't appear there) can be used to back up your databases. Personally, I like various DLT tape drives myself -- they are big, fast, and (in my experience) reliable. However, instead of backing up your databases to tape directly, I would suggest creating your dump devices on disk (preferably on a different server) and then saving those device files to tape using your regular backup software (e.g. NT Backup). |
