For instance, backups.  For hpux, I currently use a 8GB
DDS drive which backs up 2 hpux servers, 2 workstations, and
an Apple server.  I can fit 3 days of the above on 1 tape.
If these were mpe systems, I would be mounting 15 tapes
and have 5 tape drives.

Hmmmmm....... John, if you had that much MPE data why
couldn't you use the Model 4000DC  8-16 GByte
compressing DDS drive part number C1530B on your 3000 ?
...... We just bought two, which is why I know the numbers.....
