Hi Forum,

There are few alternatives to manage backups in LTO in the LTFS filesystem.
Adding a couple of improvements to the FFS could be feasible.

To be able to make backups to LTO tapes it is necessary to keep a record of all the files that are saved by tape, so as not to duplicate the information in new tapes that already exist in the old ones.
Some of that information is generated in the comparison database.
Also being able to choose the order in which the files are copied (from the newest to the oldest or from the biggest to the smallest) would be a very useful complement not only for the LTOs.
