I was reading a thread about someone backing up a large amount of data, and someone suggested LTO tape for archinving their data. I have come across a reference to LTO tape before, and read that it is used by movie studios so it is not likely to become obsolete too soon.
I discussed backing up my data here, & it was suggested to me to use sets of hard drives; one set at home, & one offsite, & rotating them every 6 months, as I update/get new data.
should I consider LTO tape? I looked at the tapes, and see they need a special super expensive drive to read them.
or would I be better off with just hard drives?
