DLT is a quite expensive way to backup, especially considering the price of the tapes (50-100 euros). Depending on how many backups and how much data you want to keep around it might be interesting to look at other solutions (External harddrives, dvd, maybe blue-ray next year). Since harddrives run at about 100 euro's for 200 GB it's quite hard to beat those prices. > Are the DLT only SCSI or do they exist in PATA and SATA too ? So far I've only seen SCSI versions, I'd think SATA is still quite far off for DLT (as there aren't even many cd/dvd drives on sata yet) -- Mark Janssen -- maniac(at)maniac.nl Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant PGP: 0x357D2178 Skype: markmjanssen ICQ: 129696007
