[MLUG] OT: Linux friendly tape backup

[Jean-Francois Theroux]

I forgot to mention, as far as tapes are concerned, I think only LTO4
supports that much data with 1.6TB compressed. You might wanna look into
robots/loaders for future growth. Or a device that can be expended into one
in the near future if the need arise.
