I need to upgrade my Lan backup facility. Currently, I backup roughly 14GB,
this should grow to around 30GB by the end of the year.

I am looking at HP DDS and DLT drives in the Global catalog.

The HP DDS-4 drive (external) costs $1400, capacity is 40GB, transfer rate
is said to be 10.8GB/hour.

The HP DLT-4 drive (external) costs $2100, capacity is 40GB, transfer rate
is said to be 10.8GB/hour.

DDS-4 tapes cost $40/ea in single quantities, DLT IV data cartridges cost
$90/ea in single quantities.

The cost differences between DDS and DLT are pretty significant, so I am
wondering if there is some advantage to choosing DLT which would justify
the cost increase. Anyone out there with experience in this area (like Denys?)
