Hi,
I am trying to purchase a second hand powervault for our business thus we can use it for restoring data .
currently if we do this with the live system , then we can't do the daily back up as what we are trying to restore is 1tb on lt03 and times it takes to do this is in excess of 10 hours.
I am not great with tapes but here are my questions and I greatly appreciate your help
I am either looking at 124t or tl2000, which one would you recommand ?
1.if it is tl2000 with fiber , I guess I could plug it to a normal machine providing I get a fiber to ethernet , correct or even the current live server if I get a fiber to rj 45?
2.if 124t is scsi or sas , do I need controller for them to be installed on the server ?
3.I have seeing a listing on ebay saying no drive for tl2000, what does that mean ?
4.if I get a lt04 , it can read the 2 previous version thus lt03, correct ?
5.you see some devices coming with rj45 or usb, but are they for management rather than data transfer ?
I think you only have fiber, sas and scsi for data transfer.
overall what I think we need is , rack unit , the device which is either tl2000 or tl124 and controller if it is 124 t with scsi,or sas , is this correct ?
can I buy the controller desperately ?
apologies for number of questions and your help is greatly appreciated .
Regards
