Backup Tape Drive

[chrislip]

Hi all

I have a choice of an LTO1 or DLT-V4 tape drive from a source. Which one should I go for and why? I know that DLt is going defunct and the most common system now is LTO, however the LTO1 only stores 100GB/200GB and the DLT-V4 stores 160GB/320GB

Thanks

Depends how much data you're backing up, if you dont need the extra capacity then the LTO is probably the better option.
