Abstract
Disk drives are now available with capacity and price per capacity comparable to nearline tape systems. Because disks have superior performance, density and maintainability characteristics, it seems likely that they will soon overtake tapes as the backup medium of choice. The authors outline the potential advantages of a backup system composed of high-capacity disk drives and describe what implications such a system would have for backup software.
