RE: [Avid-L2] Media Archiving. LTO?

 

Why have you got a library and plan to use LTFS ? AFAIK LTFS only works
by formatting one cartridge at a time, thus rendering a library
uselsess. I would love to hear that I am wrong.

We just got our Tandberg Storage Library 40+ but no workflow established
so far. We are still looking into different possibilities since it has
to serve two purposes: delivery of source-material (tapeless data
formerly known as camera-tapes) to co-producers and local backup for own
productions.

So basically we need the Library to spit out single tapes or a bunch of
them for a project that has to readable by the recipient. Currently we
are going the LTFS-road with this one.
For our internal needs we are looking into Bru.

However: the biggest draw-back on any archive software is the
reliability in conjunction with the question: can we still read the data
in decades from now?
