Subj : Re: Another backup question To : Chris Robinson From : Geo. Date : Tue Apr 03 2001 11:56 am From: "Geo." 28mb/s sustained via LVD scsi, sounds like a winner to me. I've got 3 of their DDS4 drives and they have been great. I don't think I'd hesitate to try one of these but before you do make sure you find someone who is actually using it. The question I would ask is how fast can it search the tape and find a single file in a 100gb backup. What kind of price did you find on these? Also, is this a single machine you are backing up or are you going to pull over a network? Geo.
