I've been using DAT DDS-3 for the past four years with good results. Of the two units that I have, a Tecmar WangDAT 9300 and an HP Surestore DAT24, the Tecmar is my favorite, but Tecmar is out of business now. Both have been reliable, and you couldn't go wrong with HP. (I do incremental backups of 3 - 5 GB's four nights a week, with a full 18GB or so weekly backup.)
DDS-3 has a 12GB native capacity, or approx. 24GB with compression, so it's on the low side of your requirement. The next generation, DDS-4, has 20/40 GB capacity. I'm considering a Seagate Scorpion 40 DAT (DDS-4) for my next tape drive. Does anyone have any experience with Seagate tape drives? cmr On Tuesday 26 August 2003 06:23 am, you wrote: > Awhile back there was a discussion of the best tape drives for Linux.
