High Capacity Tape Drives

[Steve Goodwin]

Further to my recent message about high capacity tape drives on the
Pyramid, thanks to those who responded. Results were inconclusive :-)
Some have problems with Exabyte, some don't. The only thing agreed on was
Pyramids excessive price for most of these devices!

I believe I can buy a DAT drive + i/f + s/w + a SUN for less than Pyramids
cost of a DAT! I could then do all my backups over my ethernet. Anyone
point out any problems with this approach?
