About 2 weeks ago, our dell powervault started eating our backuptapes. I couldn't get one backup that wasn't eaten by the drive. Oh well, time for a new tapestreamer. Besides, the DDS tapes became too small, only 40 GB compressed data.
So, I did my reading and decided to get a DAT drive 160 GB compressed. Very nice, but it took me about 1 week to figure out, this drive doesn't have hardware encryption. So the backup seemed to work, but data was not restoreable. So, now all goes well again.
Funny thing is, We now have a HP tapestreamer in a DELL server. They seem to cooperate well. And yes, it is an old server, but it still serves very good.
