[Gllug] Tape backup

[robin.c.smith at bt.com]

What sort of data volumes, backup window, recovery requirements ( i.e. I
would tend to do a full backup of user data as incrementals can be slow to
recover).

To answer you question, it must be SCSI based. I use a DDS-3 drive at home
with no problems but I don't use it nightly, we have had problems with DDS-3
drives at work.

DLT drives are nice but expensive.

Dear All

I have been set a task of setting up incremental tape backups for a
client on a Debian GNU/Linux server.

In people's experience what is the most reliable internal tape drive for
GNU/Linux? (if money isn't and is an object ;-)

Best regards
Andrew Och
