Tape Cartridge Backup -- does it still work in W7
Hi all.
This might seem a bit of a dinosaur technology question but some businesses still rely on TAPE cartridges for backup.
I know you can get 1 TB usb disks which are probably MANY times cheaper than a decent tape subsystem - to say nothing of the cartridges themselves - however a lot of businesses still use tape.
I haven't seen anywhere a discussion about whether tapes still work.
Note - Professional tape sub systems - sometimes with "Robot" like mechanisms for selecting the correct volumes - not rubbishy consumer QIC like systems.
Without decent backup capability at a corporate network level then W7 / W8 server will be a no go.
Cheers
