Hi Rahul; I tried to send you a file to your email, with diferents choices of tapes for your IBM server... but had no luck.
We did kind of a survey to find the tape device that solved our problems of time during backup, and finally picked the IBM 7205 Model 345. Time during backup went down from 9 hours to 56 minutes. There is also the IBM 3580 Ultrium - Up to 200 GB compressed, 30MB/sec. The IBM 7208 Model 345 - supports three kinds of tapes; up to 50GB, 100 GB, or 150GB compressed, 30MB/sec. Check the info at the ibm page. Hope this helps!
