Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Why Tape

[David Kempe]

In that same interview I believe he said that disk is better than tape for
disaster recovery/fast restore backups.
I agree for archiving tapes are better. Most of my clients are SMEs that
don't care about archiving but care alot about disaster recovery.

Yes, I remember reading an interview linked from Slashdot recently.
The scientist noted that data storage size had grown much quicker than
the bandwidth to access that storage.  I think he said something like
"Everyone agrees that soon we will have to start thinking of storage
as a sequential, not random-access, medium".
