What is a good tape drive to use with Uw7/OSR6? |
| Any scsi tape drive should be functional, with some devices offering newer options like fast positioning to index marks, etc. Hewlett Packard DAT drives used to be well liked, but now many people in the ng's are recommending Sony drives, as they offer greatly increased backup speeds due to simultaneous write and verify. Hewlett Packard DAT drives are well liked and have One Button Disaster Recovery, but DAT technology is at the end of it's lifetime. Nowadays, Exabyte/Ecrix are making the VXA-1 that is 8mm, LVD, 33/66MB and excellent. Sony makes great tape drives, also. <mschalit@pacbell.net> gerberb@zenez.com | |
