I bought one a month ago based in part on feedback from this list,
and am very happy with it so far in daily use.
In combination with Retrospect, VXA is a real pleasure to use. I was
previously backing up just three file servers onto DAT DDS2 using
Backup scripts. I added twenty desktop computers when we got the
increased capacity with VXA, and switched to using Backup Server
rather than Backup scripts. Backups are now easier to manage than
before despite the increased volume. When I manage to fill up a tape
I'll have some idea of the compression, but still doing incrementals
to the first tape in each set.
