It is not 10 years old and is already a problem. > In bacula provided you have a drive that reads the old media do a migration to new media/tape technology when you determine the availability of a technology is going away. I have 80 DLT tapes with bacula data on them but both of my DLT IV drives are unreliable at best. When I get time I need to invest $600 in a new DLT (only can buy from "approved" vendors) so that I can do this for my old data. Most of this is a second copy of archived data that I have a working copy on the LTO2 autochanger. I know that is getting old but at least it's still supported in read mode with LTO4..
