I have an EXB-8500 and a Adaptec 1505. However, I am having problems with the EXB. Even if I were to get that working I have about 40 Gigs of total space. I need to be able to do a full dump. I was thinking of an ADIC 1200D. It seemed to be a good price point on the net, and I don't mind visiting the colo once a week for a tape change. I have read on some problems with the chio or changing the tapes. I did have some problems getting the tape online when I was at 3.2-stable, but of course it wasn't supported. :) Also, I planning on using amanda. I have in use at a few client locations and I really like the product especially considering the price/feature tradeoff. Any thoughts would be welcome.
