I have used several Dell models and an IBM model and a SpectraLogic model with Bacula. As well as Overland and Quantum. They were all LTO-based and very similar in spec and operation. IMHO, you want LTO-4 today, not LTO-3. On this list, we have not recently heard of any new libraries _not_ working with Bacula; I think there used to be many more problems "back in the day", but now things are better. That MSL6030 looks good.
