Tape Drives

Good of you to ask as I'd been wanting to start about them too ... but from
a different perspective, unfortunately.

We've been using the 3581-H17 autoloader (7 tapes) since half a year now.
They were quite a leap compared to the MagStar before it. From over 6 hours
and 7 tapes back to just 2 hours and 1 tape for PRD backup (database size
around 170 Gb now).

The one bad point we're experiencing with them is regular mechanical
failures when the tapes get moved around with a tape actually getting
"stuck" somehow. Luckily most of these occurred on the DEV/QAS machine and
not on PRD so far. Unit has been replaced once but no better behaviour after
that, it still happens around once a month at least up till now. The person
changing the tapes has learned from the IBM service engineer how to get it
unstuck using a paperclip and some properly used force ... 😎

Would like to hear from others using same unit if we're just the statistical
unlucky or if this is indeed inherent to those units?

Regards, Louis.

Does anyone have experience/comments with the 358x LTO Gen 2 tape
drives? They are supposed to achieve 105MBps at a 3:1 data compaction.

If you do, what model are you running?

Are you also backing up all the Intel/network servers on the floor?



We've used 3590 E11 for a few years and have been very happy - but we're
looking for even fast save times especially since PRD DB is at 420GB

We don't have a large investment of vaulted / archived 3590 media (other
than full system saves) so we are in a position to change the media





Thanks!

Doreen
