Travans are junk, IMHO.   If money is tight, buy a DLT7000 drive off Ebay. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Noah Eiger Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 12:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Branch Office Backup I believe the Travans are 10/20GB. The DLT IV is relatively expensive. My thoughts were to simply capture the differentials each night.   In your experience is DLT superior to Travan? Besides the capacity are Travan drives known to be problematic or the media poor?   Thanks.   nme   From: Brian Desmond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 09, 2004 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Branch Office Backup   Noah-   You say you have 20 - 60GB of data, these TR5 cartridges will do 5GB. How do you forsee them being useful? I'd think a DLT IV would be best here in 35/70 config.   --Brian -----Original Message----- From: Noah Eiger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun 5/9/2004 5:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: [ActiveDir] Branch Office Backup Hello:   I am looking for some suggestions about tape (or other media) backups for branch offices. Our main offices have DLT Autoloaders running Backup Exec. We have several field offices 5-15 users with 20 – 60 GB of data. Servers run redundant IDE drives.   The current front runner is Travan 5 drives due to cost and some legacy issues. Speed of the backup is not a huge issue. Suggestions welcome.   Thanks.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah M.
