Hello, I don't want to plug any particular company, but at least here in Switzerland, Dell is offering a PowerVault PV124T LTO-2 L at an incredible price. It holds something like 16 tapes and has a barcode reader, and comes with a 3 year service contract -- total CHF 5689. I'll let you convert to your currency (probably Euro's). I cannot guarantee that the device works with Bacula, but I have yet to see a modern autochanger fail to work with Bacula (mtx really). If it interests you connect to www.dell.ch E-code DMCH4-PV06124L I would be surprised if they are not offering the same thing in Germany. If I didn't already have two autochangers, I would probably get one of those devices -- for me the only downside is that it is a 2U rackmount.
By the way, with all the cost cutting, IMO, Dell is going quickly down the drain (probably another flame). On Tuesday 13 June 2006 21:13, Dirk H.
