Hey folks, being the family IT man I’ve held onto all of my families photos/videos over the last 20 years

I’ve been pretty careless with the backups and I know if I don’t do anything it’s only a matter of time before I lose them

Although I’ve never used them, tape drives seem to be the best so I thought I’d ask here if anyone uses them for their homelab?

It might be overkill for a few GB of photos but I’d also use the tape drives for data hoarding purposes so it’s a win win in my book

    tape drives seem to be the best

    Tape drives are the keytars of the tech world. They seem cool and a pro can really jam with them… but they’re not the most practical and you should really get a guitar or a keyboard until you know what you’re doing.

    Yeet your shit onto rsync.net or sth else simple and call it a day, unless you’re in it for the meme.
