[TriLUG] Tape backup jukeboxes?

[Len Boyle]

An lto-2 holds 200 gig of compressed data. If one is only backing up 5 or 50 gig of data, one does not need a stacker. LTO-3 tape drives are out and they hold 400 gig.

Less expensive jukeboxes can be found, but when LTO-2 is involved it's
going to expensive (even single drives).

I'd advise calling World Data Products.  http://www.wdpi.com/  Dan
