@bmaxv @dalai @jwildeboer I mean you could do

tar | bzip2 |enc and then it'll spit out an encrypted archive.

So yeah, that - alongside budget, size, performance and flexibility (as well as storage targets) may be of importance.

• Personally I wished #LTOultrium #TapeDrives were more affordable because for #offsite & #offline #backups they still kill it once once reaches Petabytes.

@elfin @Dianora @GossiTheDog personally, I think we need an open standard for portable SSDs that is actually multi-vendor...

• I do propose the #NeoFloppy aka "Stiffy Disk Drive" as something that unlike #LTO / #LTOultrium and #Jaz is flexible in terms of growth!

@fgaz @nina_kali_nina @spacehobo The big advantage in this regard is that unlike #FDD, #LTOultrium or other #Tape and #OpticalMedia like #ArchivalDisc¹ and #OpticalDiscArchive ² it needs to have the flexibility to transparently grow in capacity beyond standardized, fixed sizes in a longterm-compatible manner.

• After all, the problems with #SD cards and #USB - flashdrives are due to #handling issues and space as well as interface constraints.

Seriously, why are #LTO9 drives so expensive?

I know why we don't have these in regular desktops but c'mon...

Where can one buy LTO drives and tapes in the USA besides Amazon?

I'm considering buying one and have a friend of mom who lives in the US bring it here.
