How big are your backups? I think it is bad form to suggest changing your tools, but in this case, it was suggested to me a few years ago and I do not regret it. I went to DLT from DDS a few years back (7 or 8?). Granted, most people are using LTO today. I managed to pick up some very good used DLT drives and tapes. They are much sturdier than DDS.
