Backup Software is a subject that nobody likes to speak about. Everybody assumes it is a chore to carry out. Many companies totally forget about Data Backup and when they do, it is a tick box exercise i.e. a tape drive and a copy of backup software. Whilst this is ideal in a small user environment, the more servers added, the more costly and complex tape backups become. Most corporates today have multiple operating system installations. Many run separate UNIX and NT departments as well as running separate tape backup software and tape hardware solutions. Multiply the single server copies of backup software by the number of tape media by the number of tape drives. Add the on-going maintenance costs for tape hardware and backup software. T he costs start to escalate even before adding the number of man hours carrying out restores, checking catalogs and changing media.

CFHT Archive Manual - Tapes And Tape Devices Pretty much all modern tape drive utilize some sort or hardware data compression and the amount of compression that a drive can achieve is pretty much the http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/ObsInfo/Archive/manual/tapes.html
Extractions: DDS or DAT tapes are 4mm cartridges. The media is very compact and relatively inexpensive. Because of the compact size of the tape, DAT tapes are more susceptible to breakage and short shelf life than other form factors. They are primarily used for applications where space is an issue like personal backups or collections of data where a lot of tapes are to be kept in an accessible and convenient location. Exabyte tapes are all 8mm cartridges. The media is bigger than a DAT but still relatively compact. It is more reliable and slightly more expensive. Almost all tape drives in this format are manufactured by Exabyte Corp. and so compatibility is usually good though using older type tapes in newer drives can cause problems. For example using a 5gb (black) exabyte tape in a "mammoth" drive that uses 20gb (tan) tapes renders the drive inoperable until it is cleaned. n Note that not all of these options are available for all types of tape drive and that they don't always mean the same thing for all tape drives. In many cases for example, the drive may only be able to write at less than four densities or compression may be on or off by default for the unmodified device file. For more info on tape compression below. Normally the default device and and non-rewinding device are the only tape device files you will need.
