Comment on How long do you keep your backups?
chewypoops@lemmy.world 9 hours agoUnironically how I use LTO-6 tapes.
2.5TB of storage for ~$5/tape on ebay.
Never delete anything. If the authorities ever come after me, discovery is going to be hilarious.

What’s the catch, why don’t we use those? I/O speed? Limited read/write cycles? I imagine it sucks if you need files on opposite ends of the tape.

The drives are crazy expensive if you want to use a somewhat recent generation.
