Hi,
why USB? Ever considered eSATA + external drive cage where you can
plug in and out the harddrives easily? Using this for years now...
usually my backup-drive remains in the system - I have just a second
harddisk I plug in 4 or 5 times a year and then store it in a
different physical location so a fire won't also kill my backup....
but first you should tell us the demands you need to accomplish with
your desired backup media.... maybe you have some sort of SLA or other
contracts which are demanding specific parameters to your backup
solution?
Regards,
Oliver

I'm going to be blunt — I'm sick and tired of all the maintenance and
media-replacement issues that come with tape (and the re-run backups
because the tape drive threw an error), and I'm looking to move to a
different form of backup media. Possibly something comparable to RDX
cartridge drives, but preferably without the price premium of actual RDX
branded hardware. (Currently ~$250 for a 2TB RDX cartridge drive vs.
$60 for a 2TB external USB hard drive or $50 for a 2TB internal SATA
drive. And $500+ for a 4TB cartridge? Get outa here.) Oh, and also,
anything USB need not apply. Too slow. I do have a perfectly good SAS
controller available.
What are folks using for removable-drive backup storage, how do you have
it configured in Bacula, and how well is it working out for you? I
desperately need a better solution here.
