Hi all



Is DAT still a viable backup medium if you want USB and to avoid optical
disks?



I've got about 8Tb to backup and for various reasons don't fancy: LTO,
BluRay, Cloud or HDD (i.e. NAS). I know DAT's quite old (and I might even
be forced to use DAT160 because of cost) but if it'll do the archiving
(write once read seldom) job I have in mind for 8Tb (even if that's a lot of
tapes) I'd be happy.



Thanks

Rob
