|
||||
drive. That way you can run several backup jobs in parallel, or run
|
||||
restore jobs while the other dives are used for backups.
|
||||
|
||||
Also consider that you need to read data first from your datastore
|
||||
(disk). But a single spinning disk is unable to deliver data at this
|
||||
rate. We meassured a maximum rate about 100MB/s in practive, so it
|
||||
takes 33 hours to read 12TB to fill up a LTO8 tape. So if you want to
|
||||
run your tape at full speed, please make sure that the source
|
||||
datastore is able to delive that performance (use SSDs).

Tape changers
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Tape changers (robots) are part of a `Tape Library`_. You can skip
|
||||
this step if you are using a standalone drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux is able to auto detect those devices, and you can get a list
|
||||
of available devices using:
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape changer scan
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use that device with Proxmox, you need to create a
|
||||
configuration entry:
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape changer create sl3 --path /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-CJ0JBE0059
|
||||
|
||||
Where ``sl3`` is an arbitrary name you can choose.
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note:: Please use stable device names from inside
|
||||
``/dev/tape/by-id/``. Names like ``/dev/sg0`` may point to a
|
||||
different device after reboot, and that is not what you want.
|
||||
|
||||
You can show the final configuration with:
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-tape changer list
|
||||
|
||||
The Vendor, Model and Serial number are auto detected, but only shown
|
||||
if the device is online.
