I have one of these too, paid about $150 from an online auction house a couple years ago. Works real well with Amanda doing the scheduling and driving the robot. Got another for about $500 recently for an ISP I support, works well there too. Matthew> I have to say that the TR4/TR5 clones that HP seems to be Matthew> building seem pretty good. Media is expensive though. I also have a TR4 I got before the Archive: it's surprisingly fast but I find the media rather prohibitively expensive -- too much to have a few tapes worth of backup on my home systems. The DDS2 tapes are easy to find and cheap enough to have a pile of backups. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
