I am sure we can find people who have had good results with their Travan Tapes, including myself. Have had a 4Gig/8Gig for several years. It has saved me many, many times, including full restores after a crash. In the end it is really about what one can afford. Sure the Qic/Travan are probably not as reliable as DLT, but that won't change someone's money availability. I personaly think that backup with Qic/Travan is much better than no backup at all. In particular if one uses several tapes with a reasonable rotation and if one does some sort of verify or test restores every once in a while.
