Good morning all,

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to a tape backup solution 
that carries the most bang for the buck.  The ideal would be:

*  LTO-3
* Works with Bacula or similar and 6.x
* Autochanger
* Ability to handle 30-40 heterogeneous servers of varying size

All suggestions and comments are appreciated and welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Reuben A. Popp
