I so wish I'd asked for a budget to buy a eigth-tape lto autoloader instead of
the single-tape drive we bought instead. But the cost for this single drive
was so steep at the time, that my boss had no other way... As it is now, we
shuffle some 4-5 tapes every week...
It's amazing how the amount of data always increases, and never ever
decreases. 8-(
What about AIT? Isn't that worth loking into?

I been using a LTO-1 drive for a couple of years. Prior, my backup was running
5-6 hours with verify on a DDS-4 tape, when I moved to the LTO-1, the time
dropped to 1-2 hours, plus we went from 20-40GB to a 100-200GB tape.
Exploring the use of the new LTO-3. You may not be able to get a LTO-1. I
think LTO 2 is the current with LOT-3 just being released.

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-}
