Write the data, then read it back out and verify.<br>
Heck run em in pairs (2 copies).<br>
<br>
Replace them every 6 months.<br>
I'm guessing you aren't after historical data changes?<br>
<br>
I have one client that is snarky about that kind of thing, so I
run a ZFS fileserver snapshotting hourly. Then I replicate all
that to a backup file server, the backup server can only talk to
the main file server not the wider network.<br>
Backup server then has its snapshots replicated onto encrypted 2Tb
removable disks that the receptionist swaps out on a daily basis
and ensures one is always offsite.<br>
<br>
So they have a max data loss of 2 days, and they have hourly
snapshots going back a few years.<br>
<br>
Its weak to a rouge system administrator who has 3 days worth of
planning time.<br>
If they took archival disks that'd go away but that was too much
$$$.<br>

LTO tapes sales are down. People are backing up to
disk.<br>
<br>
But what are people doing for offsite. Removable HDs ?<br>
