LTO7 Mac Compatible Archival/Backup Software Recommendations
Hello!
Our LTO5 Cache-A system just recently started acting very unreliable. As result, our company ordered a similar style one called “OWC Archive Pro LTO-7 Thunderbolt Tape Storage/Archiving Solution”But after my company purchased I asked if it came with a archival software, like how our LTO 5 had the Cache-A platform, but apparently OWC just recently discontinued its ArGest softwear “BRU” which from what i see on these forums seems to have been a previous standard.
When reached out to OWC about this they responded with:
Archive Pro requires separate LTO software to unlock access and write to its tape. Designed to work with Mac, Windows, and various flavors of Linux including Red Hat, Mint, Ubuntu, SuSE, CentOS, Fedora, etc., the Archive Pro will immediately fit into your workflow and expand your archive options. It is ready to work with industry-leading archiving and management software including Pomfort Silverstack XT, Hedge Canister, YoYotta LTFS, XenData6 Workstation, Archiware P5, and more.
I researched these mentioned options, and some the pricing structure is way out of the scope for our small production company.
I really like the pricing and simplistic look on Hedge Canister, but also dont know what to look for currently. Any recommendations?
