1. Are there any systems admins using mammoth(8mm) technology to do their
backup ?
What have been your experiences ? What is the Actual transfer rate. How
many gigabytes of storage is backed up per hour? Are you using tape backup
tools such as legato or any other vs. Unix cpio/tar ? How has these tools
helped ? Are they faster ? What is the direction of this technology? What
is the market share of this product versus DLT/AIT ?

Any information is valuable ?
