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.
I stumbled into it by word of mouth in my case. I started out doing IT for public schools which gave me some experience with racking stuff, security cams, basic electrical work, etc
