Hi,
we are considering moving to a DLT drive to backup a rapidly
growing raid array on a AS 2100(4/200).
Currently its at 12GB, but once we bring the other two ports in to
use that will probably grow to:
swxcr 230 raid array(three port pci)
7x2GB 12GB(current)
7x4GB 24GB
7x4GB 24GB
-----
60GB at least
currently I'm switching tapes all day with a tlz06 dat drive!
Are the DEC DLT drives as good as the Quantum DLT drives?
What are your experiences with using Quantum DLTs with a Alphaserver?
and apart from the usual UNIX tools(dump,tar) what is the best s/w to
use with the DLT's , this must include the capablity for restoring
from a total system crash.(ie if the root partition is fried do I have to
restore with dump, and am I stuck with having to use the tlzo6 to do this)
What about libraries?
Whew what a grab bag of questions, in general I guess, what do people think
of DLT as the primary backup solution?
TIA
