We are looking at the same issue. In our case, we need to perform IMAGE
backups of 2-4 Terabytes of data, weekly.
We are looking at LTO2 (200GB native per cartridge).
Saw this blurb:
"The Ultrium LTO2 is the ideal choice for modern data centers where the backup window
is shrinking, backing up 400 GB in less than two hours. This device has 60MB/s data
transfer rate (compressed) with Data Rate Matching to
accommodate host speeds between 10 MB/s and 30MB/s. LTO2 allows backup of
216.0 GB/hour (compressed). "
Of course this is a sales pitch (not mine, the vendors).
As always, YMMV !
