At all of the data centers I'm responsible we use IBM LTO2 and LTO3 changers. From 3583 to the newest TS3310 with the L5B and E9U expansion. We use all 2g/4g fibre gbics depending on the site and all of these are ADIC manufactured with IBM logos. Backup times range about 1-2Gig per min over fibre and we backup 10's of Terrabytes of data off of IBM DS4000 series SAN.
All issues have been repaired under warranty and have not had any impact to backups. We have 99% of all restores complete successfully. The 1% is the data was never backed up or the incorrect path is given. Regards, Pete ------------------ http://www.petelanglois.net On 7/23/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I'm pricing tape drives for high reliability. What vendor and what type do more people trust - Quantum or Dell, or someone else? Also, SDLT or LTO? Price is not so much an issue as is reliability. I aim for rack mount, but that isn't so important if a suitable tape drive comes along that simply hangs off the server. Also, what brand/manufacturer tapes have people found most reliable? This will be for 4 dual-boot (XP and CentOS 5) systems connecting to a PowerEdge server. I'm awaiting details on exactly how much storage we are actually going to be dealing with, and if the data will be static or dynamic. Thanks. Scott
