We're finally looking at getting a high-capacity tape drive to back up our 600 MB (and growing) disk space. I looked at these six months ago, but the market seems to be changing fast and I don't know what's just been released or how good it is. So: we'll soon have over 1 GB of storage, mixed over Netware and various Unixes. I hope it'll all be NFSed together by the time we get the tape drive, but I can't guarantee that, so the drive should support NetWare and Unix V/386. What would you pick today to back all this up? Some Exabyte type? A DAT? Something else? Can I really use $8 videotapes with Exabytes? What are the "gotchas"? Thanks in advance. Please reply by e-mail and I'll post a summary. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.
