    @Donahue said in Adding tape drive:

    at this point, I would have to get management buy in to really consider cloud, I want to evaluate the options before hand to know how much I should or shouldn't be pushing for the cloud. Recent conversations with @scottalanmiller have me questioning our historical reasons and motivations for why we use what we use. In my case, we have a mix of prior misinformed speculation and my limited personal experience.

    I don't see a reason to emulate tape if I'm not going to use tape, but I really don't know

    Well if you use tape, then no reason to emulate.
