Recommendations for fireproof cabinets (LTO storage)
posted by Todd Smith on Nov. 29, 2017, 9:30 p.m. (1 day ago)
I agree with Saker, store a duplicate onsite, and keep the original either with a data management facility (Iron Mountain etc.) and on a tight budget in a temperature controlled concrete storage place.  I priced out fireproof cabinets for tape before, large investment for little gain, even offsite managed solutions are cheaper than those cabinets.

2600 LTO3s though, that's a lot of data janitorial work.  We did all our DLT to LTO6 last year, was hellish and not even close to those numbers.

Hi all,

 I have ~2600 LTO 3 tapes that need to be stored in fireproof cabinets.  Any recommended vendors?  Eventually these tapes will be migrated to LTO 7, but for the time being I need to find cabinets to store them.  Thanks in advance.
