    My sysadmin professor told me to not learn about tape backups because they are going away soon

    Like 3 years later ransomware was invented

      Idk you can only ‘learn’ them if you have one and even the shittiest tape drive I could find as a consumer doesn’t help me at all with a tape library. We have our tape admin (=our architect) who we thank god every day for because we didn’t have to bother with it. Now he’s retiring this year… F
