An LTO drive is good long term since it's guaranteed to write 1 generation back and read 2 generations back. Very easy to use once you get the routine down.

As always, remember to do a restore to prove your backup is an actual backup.

Thanks. I checked the prices and a LTO drive is... expensive. I would have thought a tape recording device would be cheap by now.

Nope, but they do last a long time compared to other drives. We have stuff that got retired after 10 years (still working, we just upgraded standards). LTO-7 is out, so you might start picking up deals on older models.
