rackmount tape changers

2004-10-28 Thread Jamie Wilkinson
We're looking at increasing our backup capacity, and I'm wondering if anyone
has any recommendations for a rackable tape changer, with about a 9 tape
capacity (I'm thinking LTO tapes) and a SCSI interface.

Anything at all would help; I'm especially interested in such devices that
you are using in production with AMANDA, though.

Hi Jamie,
we're using a HP Storageworks SSL 1016. In 2 HEs it has a LTO2-Unit and 
place for 16 tapes. It's working flawlessly with Amanda here. Or do you 
prefer an LTO-1 solution?

Hi Jamie,
we're using a library from Overland called LoaderXpress. It has a 
LTO1-Drive (HP) and a magazin for 11 cartridges. The library is working 
pretty good with Amanda under SUN Solaris 8.

we use these

they can be rack mounted with the kit and 2 can go side by side in the 
rack - They are relatively cheap in comparison to some and so far (about a 
year and a half) they have been great. Have capacity for 10 tapes and they 
also have a barcode reader

thanks
