Been there, done that. They're lovely. But as best I remember, LTO
didn't exist (or it was preposterously expensive) 10 or 12 years ago,
when I was looking for what I would consider a solid backup system. I'm
looking forward to an LTO when the DLT drive goes belly up.
This thread got me looking around a bit, and DLT seems all but
non-existant these days. I don't think I can even get tapes for my
slightly odd DLT drive any more, not from Newegg anyway...
