Is it really worth it to upgrade instead of replace them? We have 2 7880s
that are 7 years old. We had used them for daily backups on our series 70,
but stopped that 2 years ago when up moved up to a 967 and now use DAT for
backups. I had been assuming that we would be better served by buying a
new 7980 with SCSI (we only need 1 now). Anyone care to comment?
