My place of employment is currently using an Overland Data DLT
LibraryXpressLXB system.  We use a simple shell script called by crontab
to rotate nightly backups by calling the 'chio' command.  Unit has a 10
tape magazine, can have up to two DLT drives installed, and also has a
serial control port.  You also have the option to program in a dedicated
cleaning slot and automate the head cleaning sessions.

A quick google turned up this link with a little more information (not
