So...I was wondering. Is there any backup tape system that would be advisable to use for backing up some TBs? I guess I need it to be USB, as the server is a micro PC, one of those tiny ones you can hang from behind a monitor. It's an HP ProDesk.

Thanks!

A bit pricy for home use with 8-10k bucks...

No shit. I still have a 5090 still stuck in my throat. $8k for a tape drive, hell, I could have got two 5090s.

I didn't look tbh, I just assumed it would be 1-2k. 8-10 is crazy.

Does kinda backup my point though :/
