A media company runs an on-premises physical tape library for long-term archival of finished broadcast footage. Compliance requires retaining tapes for 10 years, but the physical library is aging and increasingly expensive to maintain. The existing backup software (Veeam) writes to the library using the standard iSCSI Virtual Tape Library (VTL) interface, and the company wants to keep using that software without re-architecting its backup jobs. Restores are extremely rare but must eventually be possible. Which approach minimizes disruption while meeting the long-term, low-cost retention requirement?
