Similarly, a 5-drive RAIT set will give you 4 times the capacity, 4 times the
throughput (with sufficient bus bandwidth), and the square of the failure rate.
This means you can back up partitions as large as four times your tape size

Using a RAIT
If you have several tape devices on your system [currently either 3 or 5 drive

now also includes amdd, which is a simple dd(1) replacement which supports
(only) the "if=xxx", "of=xxx", "bs=nnn[kMb]" "skip=nnn" and "count=nnn"
options, but which can read and write RAIT tapesets.
