We currently use a DLT 87/8 drive on each DUNIX system (4.0B). In the
last two weeks, our tapes have started giving us fits. Sometimes a
drive
clean light will come on twice in one day! I am out for some basic
info:
1. What is the lifetime of a DLT (compact III or IV) tape?
2. What makes the "clean drive" light illuminate on the TZ87/8's? (time
between cleaning???)
3. Is there a brand of DLT tapes to avoid?

Thanks
