Best Tape Device for Homelab - eviltoast

Hey guys,

I am currently thinking a lot about backung up my Server with Storage and things like my Vaultwarden.

As I want something pretty reliable I thought about getting a tapeloader.

What would be the most cost efficient solution there?

    Tape is a nice option, but it makes sense if you need to backup a lot of data. I personally have a local NAS, which is used as a backup target, and another one for offsite. You will need a library, tape drives, SAS HBAs. You should plan first and then buy all the equipment you need, As mentioned, you might consider m-disc as an alternative. In case you want to play with Tape, you can test Starwinds VTL. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-tape-library
