Yes. I like the LTO tape system. It writes and reads fast. It seems reliable, though I haven't used it as heavily. It is missing a fast file search ability, so although it reads fast, it takes a while to find files. It is also expensive - like DLT - but if cheap fails, then that is really the most expensive. It is cheaper to get something that is reliable even if it has a higher price. ////jerry > > > But, if you can't read what you thought you wrote, it > > doesn't matter how fast you can search for it. > > A backup not readable is NOT a backup.
