LTO5 Ultrium LTO 5 Tape 1.6TB

Imation will soon be making the industry’s first 1.6TB raw capacity tape, in the LTO-5 format in early 2010.

Nice, but…..

Linear Tape-Open (or LTO) is a magnetic tape data storage technology, this means it is much like a music tape but big. =)

The standard form-factor of LTO technology is called Ultrium, the original LTO can hold 100 GB of data in a single cartridge. LTO4 Ultrium can hold 800 GB in the same size cartridge, but that is compressed; i always use not compressed for 400GB. The reason for this, (not compressing the data) is not for the security of the data but for indexing times.

My fear is the time that it will require a drive to read the index from a 1.6 T LTO-5 Ultrium tape; lets say you have a problem with your backup and had to re-index your tape to make a backup then what? go to the movies?

Fell free to make your comments.

What to Look for in a Data Backup Software

You need backup software that is reliable and simple to use or you won’t use it. Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate data backup software:

Feature Set – Backup software features should go beyond standard copying of data files; backup software should be flexible enough to meet your needs. First-rate data backup software allows you to schedule both full and custom backups; backup only what you want and when you want.
Ease of Use – A computer novice should be able to install and use the backup software without help. The control panel should be intuitive, convenient and should offer easy backup scheduling for automated backups.
Some backup programs are designed for advanced computer users, not novices; we comment on this in the backup software reviews.

Backup and Restore – Your backup should be simple to set up and easy to restore. Accessing restored data should be automatic, and the backup should preserve original data files and paths. Restored backup files that don’t preserve original file organization are nearly worthless; you’ll have to reorganize all your restored data to access it conveniently.
Consider self-checking backup software that compares the backup to the original to verify accuracy (backup verification). Look for backup software with a range of backup choices: full, incremental, differential and individual file backups. A complete system backup (Image Backup) is also a valuable asset, as is the ability to create a boot disk.

Also, consider backup software that can compress data for compact storage. If security is an issue, choose backup software that protects with passwords and encryption.

Help Documentation – Backing up and restoring your data can be complex. Help files should offer clear, step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting tips. The language should be simple to understand and the help information should be well organized so you can find answers fast.
Whether its corrupted data, viruses, or your computer just calls it quits, with the right data backup software, you’ve got it covered.

Why Data Backup Software?

As computers play a bigger role in our lives, the information we store on them becomes increasingly important. For small businesses, data loss can be disastrous; for home computers, it can be heart-breaking.

Most of us know how important it is to backup files, but don’t know how to begin. Today’s backup software makes protecting your data easier and more convenient than ever before—giving you the tools to perform backups how, where and when your needs require.

But, as with all software, the data backup choices are as diverse as the people who use them. Choosing the right backup program can be complex and confusing-that’s where we can help.

In this site, you’ll find articles on data backup and comprehensive reviews to help you make an informed decision on which data backup software is right for you.

IBM introduces LTO-4 technology

IBM last week bolstered its tape storage portfolio with new media, encryption and data retention capabilities, as well as a new virtual tape library that makes backing up data a more efficient affair.

The company announced that it will ship LTO Generation 4 tape drives, which are 50% faster and double the capacity of the previous LTO-3. The LTO-4 cartridges have a capacity of 1.6TB. In addition these LTO-4 tape-drives feature encryption capabilities, allowing customers to protect their data at rest and reduce the need for additional encryption appliances. You can purchase IBM LTO-4 drives with encryption from Quantum Corp. who utilize this technology in their enterprise class libraries like the SCALAR i500.
