Two Reasons that Tape Has a Bright Future Heading into 2022 and Beyond

Our partner Quantum has produced a helpful article on why LTO tape can be considered a future-proof storage in 2022 and beyond.

Backblaze Annual Drive Stats Review for 2021

Since 2013, Backblaze has published statistics and insights based on the hard drives in their data center. This report focuses on data drives. Backblaze reviews the hard drive failure rates of 2021, compares them to previous years and presents the lifetime failure statistics for all hard drive models active in their data center. Along the way, the report shares observations and insights on the data presented.

Take a look at the Drive Stats for 2021 here!

Rename Detection in P5 Version 7

As of P5 Version 7, you can track renamed folders without the need to re-save the contents. P5 Backup is able to identify renamed folders with unchanged files inside and update the index with a new folder position.

For example, if a top-level folder on a piece of storage were to be renamed, we avoid needing to re-save potentially many Terabytes inside, saving time and storage costs.
