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
I went to a trades school which offered IT computer systems as a 2 year diploma. Fast track to a job back in the early 2010s. That path would never get you into IT today lol
The specific class I mentioned was windows system administration
My sysadmin professor told me to not learn about tape backups because they are going away soon
Like 3 years later ransomware was invented
tape backups are definitely still a thing. it’s one of the cheapest ways to store a shitload of data for a long time
I spend a portion every day removing tapes, shipping them offsite and inserting new tapes
Annoying but must be done
can i have a job at your place
No but look into datacenter night shift work. Where i am nobody wants that shift. Working in a datacenter is pretty fun
interesting. what sort of resumes are you looking for in a data center? security clearances? i have a devops resume, AWS, Linux etc.
Pretty much that but also ability to use tools and basic knowledge of air conditioning etc
how do I find a data center role in particular? normally i am searching “Linux” to get devops roles.
