Re: Tape drive recommendations

Most all SCSI tape drives will work with a minimum of hassle -- what you go with depends mainly on budget and backup window. I currently use both AIT3 and LTO3, and like them quite a lot. LTO3 is probably overkill for you, but you may want to look at LTO or LTO2.



I'd second the motion on LTO2 or LTO3. I'd avoid AIT, DAT/DDS, and any other sort of helical scan. LTO2 holds 200GB raw, 400GB compressed on a cartridge, the drives are a bit pricy, but the tapes are fairly reasonable, and they are FAST. They require a dedicated Ultra160/320 SCSI channel for best performance.
