Our customers are experiencing life problems with our current 1/2" tape. We provide a Kenedy tape drive with our larger systems and a full backup consumes several tape volumes. In our new systems we will be offering a different technology but our existing customer base is in trouble today. I would like to hear your experiences, good or bad, with 1/2" tape media. What ones are good, what ones should be avoided and why, ... . I am most interested in 3600' reels. If I can't get reliable media in this length then I can write a position paper defending why 3600 tapes are an inferior solution. I will post a summary of responses here if you wish to limit netnews bandwidth by mailing to me. However I *DO* read this group so I"ll see anything posted as well. Thanks in advance!
