10 months agoThere are a lot of things that are fun to lab. Email is not one of them, seriously— leave this to a cloud provider.
The day Exchange stopped being one of the things I had to manage was a good day indeed 😅
I don’t know that I’d take on tape with your use case. There’s a good bit of tech debt involved there.
NAS (either bought or built) + Amazon glacier or Backblaze for cloud archival backup.
The NAS (including drives) will probably cost you $7000-8000 USD for 400ish TB of storage with room to grow
It was easy to give clients access to old data directly if they needed, etc.
I hope you charge for this. It would help to offset your storage costs.
