HP DDS-2 8GB- Tape life???
- Thread starter lunker55
- Start date
Hi Joe
The DDS tapes are good for 100 backups.Make sure they are store in a cool dry place and that you take care of your drive by cleaning it after every 5 backups.What I would recomend is that you purchase HP DDS media due to the fact that If the tape did fail before 100 backups then hp would replace it for you
See here for further questions regarding HP DDS Media
Also For information about the warranty see here
Hope this Helps
