We've used LTOs for several years now, with an HP storageworks 215e tapedrive.
No problem so far. I expected them to wear out faster, but so far I haven't
had to exchange any of them. The tapes are a bit on the expensive side and we
had to buy like a dozen of them or so in order to keep a few generations and
to be able to cycle them, though.


I actually just finished rebuilding the backup server yesterday with win2k3,
after having run run win2k on it for many years. The stoneage Tapeware app we
used before, now seems to have given up with win2k3, but the builtin windows
Backup applet works just fine.


We used 1/2GB DLTs before the current 100/200GB LTOs, but we grew out of
those. Data has a tendency to grow over time, and never decrease for some darn
reason... 8-}
