We had our 3494 library with 8 tape drives for over 7 years. Still running strong.... In January, will be expanding our 3494 and adding an extra Robot and upgrade our drives to the latest tapes.

We have been running our 3494 for seven and a half years now. No sign of
wearing out. Just replace broken parts when necessary.

Please respond

Stor Manager"
Does anybody have an idea what is reasonable to expect for the lifespan of
a
3494 library?
My manager wants to know when we should budget for a new one.
But I've never heard of anybody replacing a 3494 because of age - just
upgrading to new drives!
