> 1) Tapeless: maintain multiple copies on disk (minimize >backup/restore lag) Can you really call it archival if you're willing to pay 5 times as much for quick access? Maybe you need a different word. Archive means large quantities of data with very low access frequency. And sometimes, in the current legal climate, with very low chance of destruction. You word this as if the only potential use of tape is backup of disk-based data, but it's also pretty useful as the primary copy of archival data. -- Bryan Henderson IBM Almaden Research Center San Jose CA Filesystems - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
