Tape Backup Media
LTO backup media
Have you changed your backup media recently? If you're doing weekly backups, you probably want to replace the tapes every two years. In the end, it's better to spend the money on new tapes than just as much money to do data recovery on one tape or risk losing information critical to the operation of your organisation.
If errors occur on your tapes, what should you do? As a rule of thumb, the first time a write error occurs on a tape media, the situation should be monitored closely. If a write error reoccurs, remaining data on the tape should be migrated and the faulty media replaced. If a read error occurs on a tape media, all remaining data on the tape should be migrated immediately and the faulty media replaced.
