Sorry it’s late – I don’t read the Bacula list every day. We successfully use a Neo T24, LTO-6, SAS interface, LSI SAS 9207-8e controller, on UB 18.04LTS in ESXi 6.0 (you have to use hardware passthrough on the SAS controller card to use a SAS tape drive in ESXi).
We previously used a Tandberg Magnum 224 built circa 2009. Except for SCSI interface & LTO-4 speed/capacity, it was a better unit – more steel, less plastic, easier to change tapes, better front-panel interface. That’s the limit of my experience with autoloaders, so I can’t offer a brand-to-brand comparison. Good luck, Dan Stieneke IT Specialist USDA - ARS - NWISRL 3793 N 3600 E Kimberly, ID 83341 208/423-6519 From: Markus Falb <wne...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, November 12, 2018 4:35 PM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Looking for a LTO autoloader Hello, I am considering a purchase of a relatively small autoloader, but am not sure about compatibility with bacula. I found this one: https://www.overlandstorage.com/products/tape-libraries-and-autoloaders/neos-t24.aspx#Overview If anyone on this list has experiences with this autoloader + bacula, please let me know. I does know there is a "supported" list in the documentation http://www.bacula.org/9.2.x-manuals/en/main/Supported_Autochangers.html but don't know how comprehensive it is, there are some Overland models listed, but not this specific model (There doesn't exist a "not supported" list, does it? ) Also, suggestions (or dis-recommendations) for other autoloaders are appreciated, of course. Best Regards, Markus P.S. the Qualstar Q24 looks pretty identical to the NEOs T24 https://www.qualstar.com/qsr-q24.php Does anyone know what the differences are?
