Why is cloud backup not an option (besides because the boss said so)?
Or the BIG question, why are disks being considered when tape is the logical or obvious "go to" for backups. Why did tapes get ruled out or skipped over?

At that size I'd only consider Wasabi, and even at 150TB, that's $30K per year.
Only about $12K. Still a lot, but not AS bad.

Because that many TB cloud storage is crazy expensive for an SMB.
Um. . . crazy expensive to compared to having your 1 and only working backup system die when you need it and then the business is done for?
At B2 the price is pretty flipping cheap per month.

My bad, forgot to move the slider.

How expensive would it be for the down time required to download that much damn data? Or wait to have it shipped if they do that?

If going down that path... how much will it cost when the QNAP doesn't work to restore the data at all

Anyone got a quick number of what LTO would cost for this?

That was my next thought!

I htink 5 LTO 6 would be like $30 or something like that, which is like 12TB.

Who says you need to download the entire thing? And in the worst case B2 (edit any cloud storage provider) will ship you a drive with all of your data that you'd just plug in and pull off of directly into your file share.

You said that when you said the production filer server(s) take a dive. That implies the whole lot.

Quick numbers...
HPE StoreEver LTO-7 Drive is $3,650.

Fair enough, but at the same time a production server taking a dive (depending on how the environment is setup) could be hosting iscsi shares into a hypervisor with a small-medium share of rarely-occasionally used data.
-
Which would hardly be "critical to need constant and immediate access to backups" in most cases.

The tapes alone to here outweigh his budget assuming he bought only 14 tapes!

Yeah, there's a ton of "coulds" when nothing was really specified.

that's the DRIVE, not the tape, lol. He only needs one.

LTO-7 are $74 each. They are 6TB raw, 15TB assumed compressed. So to get 200TB it would cost...
$74 * 14 = $1,036
If they wanted to do off site, you could get 200TB of on site capacity, and 200TB of off site capacity for just $2,100 in tapes and $3,650 in drive. And that's an expensive drive, you can get a nice Quantum for a little less.
If backup storage was the only need, you could do it all for under $4,000 USD, maybe around $3,500 USD!
You could do something pretty awesome for the kind of budget that they are talking. Hence why I'm flabbergasted by the combination of "not doing it enterprise" with "tight budget". The "normal" approach to this that is more reliable and flexible is so cheap.
