We need to get a tape backup unit for our server to perform daily backups.
We have an HP ProLiant ML150 G2 server, and I have these two choices:
HP DAT 72 Internal SCSI or USB
HP DLT VS 80 Internal SCSI
I would think that the SCSI version should be faster than their USB counterparts, right?
The volume of data that I need to backup is in the order of 30-50GB (although I think it might reach 70GB over the next six months).
Of course, the DAT unit os cheaper than the DLT unit.
I need something easy to use, that'll make automatic full-system backups and fast enough so that someone can take the tapes outside of the office each day. (We have had some burglaries lately, and we need to get our data safe and as far as possible).
What should I do? Is DLT better than DAT?
