With regard to autoloader recommendations, we have two Quantum SuperLoader 3 units, each with an LTO-5 tape drive. We have been using them with Bacula for the past six years and haven't had any problems with either unit. Based on that performance, I would recommend the Quantum SuperLoader 3 to anyone looking for an autoloader to use with Bacula.
