Title: RE: ONStream backups

We see the same issues here.   After using the tapes for over two and a half years with NTbackup, ArcServe and now Veritas Backup Exec,  I also have random issues reading the tapes.  Yes, this is a good inexpensive solution, but we are researching a new solution for our 2003 budget.

We are currently stuck using them at our company due to cost restraints of a larger solution. I use a 30 GB and 50 GB for our server backups.  Nearly every time I attempt to do a restore, even with tapes only used once, twice, or a brand new tape, I usually have random trouble reading the tape and I end up restoring from another of my numerous backups.  Backup Exec shows it as blank media.  If the tape is recognized It's not the media, because I can overwrite it later and restore from it with no problems.

Hi.
Does anyone have any experience with Onstream ADR50 backup drives?  I'm
looking at one to back up an Exch2K server, and some other Win2K servers
and their data.  Budget is extremely limited (what else is new), and
50GB of storage for under $700 looks pretty appealing. 

TIA,
Scott Yorga
