We have a Dell PowerVault LTO-2, but it's only an 8 tape unit. It works flawlessly with Bacula. The only problem I have with the unit is the picker can't import/export other tapes if there is a tape in the drive. IOW: if I'm making a backup to tape0, I can't export tape1 until tape0 is unmounted. If that one flaw isn't a problem for you, go for it. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
