Can we stop Trolling here ? Rodrigo, how many DLT tapes do you think he needs to backup the 40gig HDD he has in there ?
As I mentioned before, LTO is faster and cheaper these days.
And if you're going to spend $2+K on a backup drive, you might as well go for the gold and spend $3-4K to get a new LTO-3 that holds 400GB natively, and backs up at a 80MBps rate (double each for typical 2:1 hardware compression).
It is hard enough to find DLT units and tapes around here, Bryan, that I don't even want to think about getting LTO stuff.
How easy is to get LTO units and tapes in USA and other countries ? How open is it (meaning: how many companies make it) ?
