If you have an extra SE SCSI port I would recommend using 2 drives and doing
a parallel backup. This decreases the time spent by slightly less than half.
DDS4 is not yet supported on MPE so your only choice is a DDS3.

You could at also look at a DLT which is supported. This, I believe, would
require a free FW/SCSI port. The transfer rate is 1.5 MB/PS for the 4000 and
6MB/PS for the 8000.
The initial investment is a couple hundred more but they are more reliable.
The cost of tapes is also higher but you can reuse them forever unlike DAT
media.

HTH,
The opinions expressed herein are my own and not necessarily those of my
employer.
