DAT tape backup

[Keith F Pilotti]

Does anyone have any experience with the DAT technology for backups?

We are about to purchase a large capacity backup unit and are wondering if
there are advantages to DAT over the "old" 8mm technology (ie. Exabyte).

All comments appreciated.  Have editor, will summarize...

Thanks!
