We'd like the new one to be SCSI, fast, and > be able to I've been using HP SureStore 7000 (which is DLT70, I believe, + 6 tapes library) on SCO OpenServer for about two years, HP DLT40 on RH6.2 for about a year with DLT IV tapes. Had a small problem with library long ago - didn't always detect that the tape is in slot. Got that replaced without problems. No problems since. LOVE DLT! LOVE the speed. On SCO, it takes about 2 hrs to backup 15Gb/130 mil records Informix DB and about 4 hrs to backup 12 file systems with 23 Gb on them. Numbers might be not that impressive - I don't use any backup packages, just good old plain ontape and cpio. Still very happy with hardware. I think DLT80 is around 1400ドル at http://cdw.com Alex. ===== Before the accident, I could not even spell UNIX __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
