The easiest test is to use the commandline mtx utility. If mtx can manipulate your autoloader (which I'm guessing it can, given the success we've had with our new Exabyte Magnum 1x7 unit), then Amanda can be configured to use it as well. > What is, in your opinion, the best hardware equipment to work with Amanda?

However, a better question would be, how much do you expect this data size to grow in the next year? It may be worth looking at some LTO solutions if your data size is going to double.
