How It Works

Calculate tape backup restore time. Restore_time = data_size / tape_throughput + seek_time + mount_time. LTO-9: up to 400 MB/s native. Large restores from tape: hours to days

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Tape: hours — The tape: hours recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the tape restore time result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the tape: hours for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate tape backup restore time. Restore_time = data_size / tape_throughput + seek_time + mount_time. LTO-9: up to 400 MB/s native. Large restores from tape: hours to days. Use the tape restore time result to inform your calculation.
