how to find out the "lifetime" of DD5-tapes? NOT MTBF..
Hello,
some advanced backup-solutions do allow to define the "tapelifetime" in order to be able to use/take a new tape from the tape-recycling pool before the tape in questions really gets broken(e.g. too many read/write-errors). It's quite easy to find out the MTBF of different tapedrive- types but not the lifetime of the tape/media itself.. (of course that's not the case with high-end drives like LTO which claims 10'000 load/unload cycles and 20'000 short section read passes). Any tip is appreciated very much. Thank you! John Can somebody point me to such load
