Good find, Neil. Notice where HP says they want to push DLT1 as a follow on
to DDS. I hope CSY will have support for DLT1 on the 3000 before EOL.
Somehow, I don't think it would take much to support DLT1.

It does look like DDS5 will never make it to market....

HP, Sony and Seagate appear to be abandoning DDS in favour of various
flavours of media.
Kind of makes backup planning hard. Better start copying those old DDS
tapes to a Snap Server.
Does anyone have a utility that will copy Store DDS tapes as STD images?

Hi Duane - thanks for the info - I'm glad to know that there is
something else available if DDS disappears!

I bet Denys has good info on this topic, but I
can offer our personal experience of non-dds
backup devices.
* We have used DLT on our 3k systems for 2.5 years
and wouldn't go back to dds. The performance
and reliability is soooo much better.
* We had made the same conversion (dds to dlt) for
our NT server farm even earlier. We recently
upgraded this from dlt to lto (100-200gb). We
have been very pleased with lto.
* We sure wish hp would support the lto drives THEY
make (ultrium) on the hp e3000.
