I do not care about your retirement (I am applying for Medicare next month !) – but it is MY JOB to keep up with all this crap. Because I am so heavily involved with storage, and have been so, for such a long time, I would see in the early days of SATA drives, all these “brain surgeons” that would say “oh SATA is terrible – nothing is better than SCSI” – well, even 10 years ago – HOW DO YOU READ A SCSI DRIVE ? ITS OVER !ĭeal with it. You better keep up with your file formats, and your drives. And do you know whose fault this is ? IT IS YOUR FAULT. And here we are – Tolis is gone, Tim refused to go to LTFS, and so did you (because he assured you) and now he is gone, and now you are screwed. If you do not constantly migrate your data to the “next thing” – then you are SCREWED. Remember that DLT is much less that 30 years old (but DLT tapes last for 30 years) – what on earth do you do with DLT tapes ? What on earth do you do with Cache-A LTO tapes ? I get emails all the time from my old clients (OLD clients) that say “Oh, I have these D2 tapes, I have these 1″ tapes, I have these 3/4″ tapes, I have these VHS Tapes” – well guess what, unless you are willing to spend a LOT of money – you are SCREWED. Guess what you old brain surgeons – THINGS CHANGE – and you better be prepared for them. My Windows 7 business computer just died – but I have backups every week, and I bought a new HP Z series workstation and OH NO – they now use M.2 NVMe boot drives !!!! – OH NO. This applies to countless brain dead people (yes YOU), that won’t accept the fact that Apple has announced that they will NO LONGER support the AFP networking format (of which SMB has lots of problems reading files from) – you will NO LONGER be able to read HFS+ files, now that the new default is APFS. ![]() You ALL had fair warning about LTO LTFS for countless years from now, and you DID NOT prepare for this. ![]() You old bags ( I am almost 65) are reminding me of the “I have this CMX EDL – how am I going to read this” – or “I have this FCP 7 project – how am I going to read this”. Everyone here is starting to make me angry.
