Hi Bernie, Well it depends on your kind of need... ;-)) If its just data, and there's not very much of them, and data are to be modified very often, use a HD in a drawer or a zip unit, if there's a great amount of data, use a DAT; If there's a huge amount of data *and* you need to make 2 or more backups per day, use a DLT. Remember that for intensive use, the DAT is quite fragile (PB with heads azimuts, and load/unload mechanics). DLT is the best (speed # 12 MB/sec, reliability...), but is very expensive. HD is fast and inexpensive. Its very difficult to give you an advice without knowing what you exactly intend to do. JY -- Jean-Yves F.
