LTO3 is the standard these days... LTO4 will be out midyear hopefully and maybe LTO3 prices will come down. I use BRUServer for network backup. It provides similar services to what your planning to use Amanda for. They maintain a good bit of information at their websites about drives & scsi cards. I'm on an older RHEL kernel which they don't support because of scsi problems that require me to reboot it about 4:00am each day to keep the tape drive in view or it disappears. Other than that, the setup works well and LTO3 is fast. http://www.tolisgroup.com/ http://www.linuxtapecert.org/ On 3/27/07, Mailing Lists <mlists at microreplay.com> wrote: > > Hello all. > > > > I have 15 or so CentOS servers (now v4.4, I will upgrade them all to > > 5 when it comes out) and a few windows machines.
