Hey guys,

I am currently thinking a lot about backung up my Server with Storage and things like my Vaultwarden.

As I want something pretty reliable I thought about getting a tapeloader.

What would be the most cost efficient solution there?

    If you wait long enough, you’ll find an HP 1/8 G2 LTO-5 SAS autoloader tape driver somewhere between $250-$350 on eBay. That gives you 12TB uncompressed or 24TB of hypothetically compressed storage. Then buy the absolutely cheapest SAS card like a Dell H200E (which goes for about $25) and you’re all set. Don’t forget the appropriate SAS cable.

    And, this combo works perfectly with Veeam Community Edition.
