Greetings, all.

I had asked for any feedback on tape backup units:

...
> We are currently looking at a tape library from MTI, their
> model 1515 Infinity.
> We'll probably look at the DLT7000 version of this library.
>
> Anyone have experience with this unit? Any other
> recommendations for good units,
> or warnings about units that don't play nice? One factor is
> that it be able to handle
> *at least* 500GB, up to 1TB.
...

Unfortunately, I got no feedback on any particular unit. However,
Steve Boronski did provide some info on the inner workings of DLT7000
tape drives, and how they might act on a slower network.

Thanks.

- Alan
