I need suggestions for tape drive hardware/cartridges for home server backup. Approximately 40 Gigs of data. I just tried to upgrade my DDS4 tape drive for server backup to a DAT 72 (DDS5). I was told by both the sales people and the manufacturer that the new DAT 72 could read my old DDS4 tapes. But I tried two drives and both irretrievably jammed and needed to be sent back with my test tapes stuck fast in the mechanisms. Is there a tape hardware platform which is inexpensive enough to use at home and also contains a good upgrade path?
