There was a discussion a while back on this topic. The comments in general stated that there were problems once you dropped below the DLT's. I have had relatively good luck with a DAT but they are sensitive to usage. The hobby systems such as the TRx's have inexpensive drives and expensive tapes. I think they produce inexpensive results. The people I know that are doing backups of 100GB+ server system's use stacked DLT's. They don't require 1.5 times as many tape drives as systems in order to account for repairs in progress.
