George,
Does it have to be IBM? Per Radoslaw's last post, we are using Bustech MDL
1000 with Data Domain back end storage. We are a fairly small shop, and up to
2 weeks ago we had about 5 TBs of data on tape. Most of that was Mobius View
Direct archives. We just went through the Arcmover
volser ranges to the MDL and
everything works just like it is supposed to.
Thanks again for the help.
