Ecrix have revised the drive firmware to V2848

Timing problems may vary from one system to another,

Is it possible that you don't have an up to date ATTO driver installed?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you are using the OnStream drive and if you could
provide a quick review of your experiences. Thanks.

I had a VXA 1 LVD SCSI with many problems. The SCSI chain would loose the
device and Windows 2000 would report many SCSI timeout errors. This all was
finally resolved when Ecrix replaced the drive and they also sent me a metal
plate that resides on the cable. This plate removes any interference
I would have to say AIT. Sony pulled the plug on the proposed DDS-5 so I
wouldn't suggest that line at all (end of product life). Also, DAT drives
have 1/5th the head life expectancy (10,000 hours instead of AIT's 50,000
hours).
DLT would definitely be better than DAT but is faced with the same

Julia,
I can't speak for the other tape formats but I have always used DLT as it
seems to be the "Industry Standard". I would recommend taking a look at the
HP series of Autoloaders. I use an HP SureStore 818 which holds up to (8)
40GB Tapes (80GB compressed) so I can store up to 640GB on a set
Hello folks!
We recently got our funding for another 5 years from the federal
government, and including in our first year budgeting is the money
for a new backup system. I'm not planning on leaving Retrospect
behind, so all I really need help with is a new tape drive system.
Currently, we are

I have a large number of MO disks which constitute a group of

longer readable, and I have problems mounting the other 10%
