If I really cared, I would be using DLT. But then I would have more money to blow. Our DLT systems have consistently rocked. I've only seen about one tape have a 'fatal' problem out of about at least 120 over the past two years. I think ive only seen a DLT drive die after 2-3 years of service. I've got an install for a customer with 1 yr or so of service with dds3. Havent had anything weird happen. But still, if your paranoid, you use DLT right now. -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org> <sdier at debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos at irc.openprojects.net So little time, so little to do. -- Oscar Levant -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
