Snazzy Labs launched a video about Margaret last year-our rescued server that has a 336TB capacity and we use to edit video live over the network via 10 gigabit ethernet. It's been super amazing, but while redundant, it isn't a backup so we're adding Edith to the mix: an i7 Mac mini that communicates with an LTO-8 tape drive made by mLogic.

We lost our lovely friend Quinn to the dark side of Raid™ shadow legends
well if i was subed i would unsub. raid is from china. do u want corona-chan on your phone?

You live in the wrong country, here in Spain we pay about 60 US$/Month for a 600Mbps fibre simetrical bandwith (no transfer cap) and we never pay for the installation fee.
Not even Snazzy is safe from RAID shadow legends
🤑
F
I've heard they pay really well and it's not hard at all for me to skip over it, so at this point I just don't notice.
You know what else costs $200?

His whole video was about talking how bad RAID shadow legends is and stuff
Wow. Keeping me glued for 20 minutes with in-depth explanations without being boring seriously needs credit.
Thanks!!
For real! Quinn is great!
yea, when he said "are you bored yet?" it really threw me off because I was entranced!
Agreed, not patronising, not over my head.
@@MaxUgly I didnt even notice him say are you bored yet
I agree with a good bit of what you present, but here's a bit more input:
LTO isn't really "open" anymore since only IBM designs and manufactures the drives since LTO-7.
Any SAS Tape drive can be a Thunderbolt tape drive, all that mLogic has done is hide the adapter in the case.
LTO tapes are good for tens of thousands of accesses, not a hundred or so. We have LTO-1 tapes in our lab that have over 10,000 full passes and even old DDS-1 tapes (1990-ish) that have closer to 50K write/read passes.
When you say "the software" keeps track of the file's location on tape, clarify that the LTFS drivers keep track of that. Yoyatta ID depends on the LTFS layer for tape access.
Access times on an LTO 7 or 8 tape is under 5 minutes (LTO-6 and 5 are under 4 minutes). This means that software that truly manages the tape layer can locate even a 500 byte email file and start the restore in under 5 minutes.
Be aware that a power loss during tape writing with any LTFS-based solution will result in a completely corrupted tape, not just the data that was being written at the point of failure.
It would be better to perform the backups from the native file system on the TruNAS/FreeNAS host (Margaret?) rather than via CIFS and the network. You lose filesystem metadata when you do it that way.
Just a bit of feedback based on 35 years in the backup business.
He should hopefully have a UPS that can last for at least long enough to shut down the storage server gracefully in the event of a power failure. Hooking the tape drive up to that will help ensure graceful power failure there too
Shut up nerd
@@emu071981 The issue is the write to the tape and the unmounting of the LTFS volume. It's more than just a power interruption. The power loss manager must be able to tell Yoyatta to close the current write and then unmount/eject the tape before shutting things down. This is an LTFS weakness, not a problem in Yoyatta ID.
Oh god I can already see that janky power button turning off the computer in the middle of a backup and bricking the drive.
@@Adam-de8jm Because the LTFS index partition and the EOD marker on the data partition can't be updated in such an event, we've seen a lot of tapes that required very extensive deep recovery runs to get "any" data back off of the tape. Other backup apps like tar, pax, cpio, and bru use the tape as the sequential beast that it is and the worst that happens is the file that was being written at the failure point is incomplete. All of the other data written to that point may be restored with no special handling of the tape.
People: going crazy over raid shadow legends

Can't blame you. Not a cheap enterprise.
EBAY bro. EBAY. Old drives from last gen? They are $39 bucks. And Old tapes? CHEAP!
@@MickeyMishra really? can you recommend a specific one bro?
Tape drives before LTO-6 (maybe including LTO-6 now) are a lot cheaper. I purchased a used Quantum LTO-5 from ebay at several hundred dollars, and it worked without any issue. Do use brand new tapes for data storage (actually LTO tapes have a chip inside, which records the read/write statistics.). You will need to wait for some enterprises to update their hardware and sell the outdated ones on ebay.
@@Test-bi5rg yeah, I think I paid like 20 bucks for my LTO-2 tape drive. The cheapest drives are the internal ones which are SCSI over LVD so you need a serial interface controller card but the setup is very clean when set up. Just like a regular DVD drive in your PC, except it's a tape drive.

[x] doubt
I'm not sure what that was about, but I've been using LTO tapes for years in enterprise applications and have never heard of OS X support or that odd piece of software.
Every enterprise backup solution in the past 15 years has full support for LTO tape backup storage devices. Including free open source solutions like Bacula - which would have easily ran on his HP DL380 Gen 8 back there.
Having said that, an Apple Mac mini is not enterprise grade, not redundant, no out-of-band management and is completely out of place in that regard - but it is A LOT CHEAPER then an actual enterprise solution if for some reason he didn't want to co-host a backup solution on that rack server he already has running.
did this comment come from 2005 or what
@@cashnelson2306 isn't that cheese grater apple computer horribly expensive?
@@nimistar01 Compared to prosumer machines and EPYC, yes. Compared to other server grade systems, not really, no.
@Franz Xaver Fuchsberger The Mac Pro is a server grade machine. Every design decision other than the desktop case itself (they sell the same exact thing in a rack mount case) has server use in mind.
Hex channel, ECC memory.
GPU SKUs that undergo workstation+server validation.
Extended IO (PCIe Multiplexing) that doesn't restrict what IO you can use.
Passive heatsinks on processors, active case cooling.
Proprietary PSU configuration to facilitate the addition, removal, or replacement of hardware (MPX modules).
Dedicated hardware acceleration module (Afterburner card).
Twin 10GbE ports.
Hell, the best argument for your side is that the Xeon W chips are marketed as high end workstation chips. But that's a tad disingenuous, as the specific subset that Apple is using are derived from Xeon Scalable processors, just without the scalable features.
As an enterprise IT sysadmin - THANK YOU for showing that tape is the thing to use for backups and not jerry-rig solutions like Linus has done for his projects. Tape is cheap, and as long as you label your tapes properly and have a good application for managing it, it's super flexible. Very nice video! :D
Thanks!! Hoping to get a library soon.
I thought that Linus made one video about tape storage once? But yeah, it's really interesting! If I did require a backup, I'd probably try to do tape as well (as one of them).
@@snazzy next thing you need to do is figure out your off-site data storage. My ex-employer (looong time ago, when DDS was a thing) rented a small bank vault for that. I visited it weekly (or was it daily?) replacing backups.
Yep! As a former sysadmin this brings back memories of storing tapes in vaults and inserting new ones every single day :)
You ain't taking backup seriously unless your tapes are stored in disused cold war bunkers.. VMS & DLT tapes FTW ;-D

What benefits does Raid shadow legends have over raid 6 or raid 10?🤔
What the hell happened to the focus on this video? It's like you recorded it with a phone that had issues getting things on first plane.
I'm pretty sure they're doing manual focus in this video.
Working at a corporate datacenter, we have an absolute fortune invested in LT06 tapes for long-term storage.
7:08 "their magnetic so they last forever.
No, they last a long time but will fail eventually. Floppy discs are a prime example of this.
Floppy's are closer to hard drives than tape.
Most tape media is guaranteed for around 30 years. I've seen older tapes in service. I say that media should be temporary if data is to be permanent. Newer media is always denser and faster. Copying old data to new media every 20 years or so would be a great practice.
@@rehoboth_farm What about VCR tape. Most of that is now unrecoverable. (I know it can still be recovered but a process to do so is no longer economy feasible.)
@@jeposton VHS tape is not made to the same standards that certified media like LTO or other backup media are.
A few years ago I worked in the seismic industry and we were still using a lot of DLT IV tape media that was first available in the mid 90's so it is a contemporary of VHS. We also used older media. We had an occasional failure on tapes that had been used over and over again that were very old. I spent many hours dismantling tape drives and trying to save tapes. I've put more than one into a waste basket. Luckily we normally had more than one copy or were able to reproduce it from earlier versions of the data.
Ultimately the reason that we began moving it all to newer media was because it took so much more space to store and was so time intensive to read and write the old media. At the time we chose LTO5 because it was the best price/size storage for our needs including drive cost, server/interface card cost, etc. LTO6 had come out but was still VERY expensive. The quality of a high end storage tape like an LTO is much better technology now than it was on DLT tape from the 90's and it was head and shoulders better quality than video tape.
However, to your point I always preached that media had to be temporary if Data was to be permanent. All media eventually fails and must be replaced even if it is on a 20 year cycle. It is a cost/performance/longevity and other factors type of problem.
Cost is a really big deal. Now you can buy an LTO8 cartridges for about $150. That is 30TB of storage space if your data compresses well. How is that cost compared to equal hard disk space? Then compare it to RAID 6 storage. Another huge consideration is that if you already own a bunch of LTO 5 drives and tapes why would you want to go spend a bunch of money to replace them with LTO 8 if it is all working just fine?
One great thing about the LTO format tapes is that the drives will usually read 2 previous generations and be able to write one previous generation. So an LTO 5 can read and write an LTO 4 and read and LTO 3. This really can help in upgrades and tape copies. You can also still buy a brand new LTO 5 tape drive and tape. This is because industrial types of equipment like this have a longer expected life span.
Of course ALL media has issues. CDs and DVDs have their share of issues. Hard disks will demagnetize and have mechanical failure. Tape has been an industry standard long term bulk backup solution in various iterations going back to the 60's. There has been an enormous amount of engineering involved. It isn't going away anytime soon.
All of the largest companies in the world use this solution. What is your solution? How would you backup a few petabytes of data that can't be compressed? Could you guarantee the media for 20 years? If you have a better way then you should talk to IBM or Quantum.
I hope the information helps.

13:06 I'd put some 3-in-1 oil on the spindle that little arm is sitting on to see if that let it release.
Hey interesting fact/experience I just had with ZFS....
We lost our OS drive to a power loss, thought all the data was gone (luckily we hadnt really started using it yet) Got a new Drive, reinstalled CentOs and ZFS, and I was able to import in the Zpool like nothing happened at all, data intact!
TLDR:
You an completely replace and reinstall the OS Drive and your Zpool will remain (if nothing wrong with the drives)
True! Super neat. We had something similar because we're booting our server off of an SD card (really, really not ideal, but HP prevents non-HP booting in their BIOS) and lost the SD card but one more install with FreeNAS and it imported our pool and all prior settings in a jiffy!
@@snazzy yea btw....save any config files you can especially if using CentOs! It definitely came in handy for custom settings (non ZFS settings)!
I like that FreeBSD allows you to boot from ZFS, making a separate OS drive unnecessary. From what I understand this is also possible in some Linux distros, but is perhaps more complicated to configure.
well, duh, that's why you go software RAID route instead hardware RAID route
Hey Quinn, your videos flow very well. This one dragged on for a while but was great information. I appreciated it dude.

Your explanations and enthusiasm keeps me glued to your videos.
Tape is a pretty standard storage medium still. My friend worked in an animation house (one contracted out to do scenes for hollywood films). They had an offsite backup- incase of fire, theft etc, all tape storage, in constant use.
I'm sure they have a cool robotic tape library system. $$$ but worth it!
Why in the hell did you not just buy a 1U rack shelf instead of that stupid unit you got ?! These things are 10 times less expensive and will let air pass better to keep that choking Mac mini cooler
Ya but they're not cute.
Future expansion, and minimizing footprint.
It’s a about the button pusher!
No I serious, how annoying would it be to have to do a hard reset if it was on a rack self
And cooling, Apple will tell you it’s not needed! Thermal throttling is a feature not a flaw
Edward Lucas Just turn it backwards. There's nothing on the front of a Mac Mini anyway
great video, is there any potential issues from having that tape drive directly above the mac mini which as you mentioned gets infernally hot?
So what's a cheap used LTO rack mounted solution that you would recommend?
Good call on LTO as a storage medium. Can that Mac Mini feed the tape fast enough to avoid "shoe shining" the tape (and causing excessive tape and head wear)? Also, I'm not sure I understand your argument for Thunderbolt vs SAS connection (SAS is more standard), but whatever works. Nice job. Also, 1U is 1 3/4".
Watch out your turning into Linus next you will have a large noisy server like his lol good video

Well one question. You said that the Mac Mini acts like the brain of the tape in terms of where every file is. And with YoYotta you can see all of this, create and run jobs etc. but what if the whole server rack bruns down. So everything including the mac mini. Can you then just copy all the files of the tape or do you need the "brain" to kinda recreate the structure before even being able to offload everything? And if so is there also the possibility to back up the "Brain-Files" of YoYotta?

Ha ha ha(laugh in Romanian) 10 euro for 1Gbps internet speeds and this is for consumers. Businesses pay more as they have contracts that specify that their bandwidth is guaranteed.
I think some households in Sweden get 10 GBit/s for ~50€/month and mind you Sweden has much higher wages too. Meanwhile, here in Germany I would need to pay 55€/month (up from 45€/month) for 175 MBit/s max down over my current ~96 with an unchanged upload speed of between 30 and 40 MBit/s. Just great. All that over a centuries old former telephone line, because our conservative party in the 80's ignored the expert's suggestions to broadly roll out fiber and CATV as a minimum for rural areas. Some people get less than 2 MBit/s till this day, even over cellular data. Sad. At least, most plans are uncapped when it comes to fixed broadband. Our cellular is either capped, very expensive (like >100€/month) or non-existent, because of lack of competition and corresponding laws…
Mind you, 1 GBit/s is the max you normally can get in Germany apart from some very select few thousand households in either Metropolitan or Hinterland areas, while in outer countries this is already considered "the minimum" for most - at least those who want and can afford it. Most of that over some >110€/month fiber or CATV which is not nearly as stable or low-latency. Always feels so bad watching someone download over Gigabit/s lines with like 120 MB/s from Steam, when you are lucky to get 11 on most days. Hearing my parents say 12 MBit/s down with 2,3 MBit/s up is "fast" just a few years back was even worse…
I just found your videos and quite enjoy your honest reviews of things and the shallow dive you do into details.
Do you have a second tape machine off site for DR?
Does LTO compression work with raw and have you tested it ?
Do you backup to 2 LTO tapes, in case one breaks?
Didnt linus make a video and say it can take an entire day to write to a tape? Was he totally wrong or is this totally different?
Depends on the source volume and the archival software. As long as your source volume can provide a sustained 3800MB/sec stream, you'll write to an lto-7 or LTO-8 tape at just over 1TB/hour. So, yes, filling a 12TB LTO-8 tape "will" take 12 hours. But, you'd be in worse shape doing the same write to a 12TB Exos drive at 120MB/sec (less than 500GB/hour).
