Explanation

LTO (Linear Tape-Open) is a magnetic tape storage technology that uses sequential (linear) data access, meaning data is read and written in a continuous stream from beginning to end. The word 'Linear' is literally part of its name. Tape media is well-suited for backup and archival use in DRPs because it is cost-effective for large data volumes and is portable for off-site storage. SAN (Storage Area Network), NAS (Network Attached Storage), and JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) are all disk-based storage solutions that support random access, not linear access.
