I recommend either: a) spend REAL BIG money on adequate tape library with at least 10 8mm tapes (AIT-2, for example).
or b) spend much smaller amount of money on large RAID-5 array of many many gigabytes using 3ware IDE card and cheap IDE disks... then back up to disk and forget the tapes. :) Now go ride! ########## PS: To the amanda-users list... I could have sent my response via private e-mail however I thought by posting this opinion I would get some other opinions... This is my opinion after working with amanda for a while... however I am far from an expert.
