Hi All, I am in the market for a tape auto changer because I have to re-vamp my companies backup process. I'm having a little trouble deciding on what to go wit, though. It will most likely be an HP drive, but I don't know what type to get: DDS4 vs DLT. The DDS4 changer can hold 6 tapes, with 1 drive, and is a *LOT* less expensive. The drawback is that the tapes are 20/40GB tapes, and I really don't know what our backup needs are going to be a year from now. Also, if I use Amanda, I can us the 20GB uncompressed (or does Amanda use compression?). Anyway, I was wondering what other people were using for backup drives, and looking for any bit of advice I can get. I hate backups........
