We have a Sony DAT drive, an SDT5200 (no compression) that has run for
about 3 years. It now regularly gives 206 errors on different media. It
was given a low-cost clean/service by a Sony repair agent for ~$80 and
although it improved the problems persist. A tape written on it can be

Can you append a member to a tape storageset when it's a different
format from the existing members? Any reason this wouldn't work? I'm
trying out a VXA drive and want to use it to catch the overflow from my
DLT, which always fills up over the weekend.

Yes. Backup Sets may be made up of different formats, provided they're the
same type (i.e., CD-R/RW, tape, removable cartridges). So you can mix Jaz
and DVD-RAM, or DAT and AIT. However, you cannot mix DAT and Zip, for
example, as they're used differently by Retrospect.

What range of data transfer rate do you get with that DDS-3?
Is it fast enough to warrant a SCSI accelerator (F, F/W, U or U2)?

Because of differing drive speeds and the difference in content, we get as
little as 1
I get anywhere from 25-100 MB/min depending upon the client source,
and this is over a standard Fast/Narrow SCSI (10 MB/s)
I think the speed limit in this case are the tape writes,
so a faster interface would not be of benefit
10bT clients I found max out around 30MB/min,
100bT clients at 45-

A 100bT card for a nubus machine would also run you more than five times
what a card for PCI will cost.

FWIW, on my DDS-4 (APS Sony - SCSI Wide) backups (at my desktop
I went to the Retrospect site and found all kinds of info - but no
hint as to how to buy the upgrade to 4.1/4.2 from 4.0. I see it's
$29.95 but the upgrade is not listed on the Buy Now page.
I was hoping to buy and download now.
