Hello all.

I'm looking for a backup solution that can handle as much
as 120G (compressed) per tape.
I was pretty excited about OnStream's systems, except that
they don't seem to be supported by FreeBSD.  Is anyone out
there using one of these reliably?
The client is currently using DAT tapes, but they've got
over 50G worth of data to back up, and it doesn't seem to
compress any smaller than 40G.  (this is a design firm, a
lot of their files are HUGE, photo-quality jpegs)
With the DATs, it takes all day of swapping tapes to get
a backup.
We're looking at adding another 74G of storage to the main
fileserver, and I don't want to upgrade their backup system
to something that will be overwhelmed in 6 months.
Any suggestions?
