I backup 200-400 GBs a day to 600 GB diskpool and then onto five 3590 E1A drives in a 3494 with 3 frames (808 cells), and I'm very happy with both the 3590 drives and the 3494 library. I guess I could backup double the amount of data that I do today without any problems. I would recommend sticking with your 3590 drives, maybe upgrading them to 3590 H1A (60 GB uncompressed on a 3590 K cartridge). -- Best Regards Emil S.
