I've been placed with the great honor of purchasing a DDS-4 tape back-up device.... but I know relatively nothing about them.
All I know is it should be a DDS-4 (20/40Gb), internal and reasonably priced. It will be used to back-up four WinNT servers nightly with BackUp Exec and we will be manually swapping the tapes every morning. We're purchasing a new unit because we currently have a DDS-3 and are going over the tape limit.
I've looked around, but knowing very little I'm slightly confused on what to purchase. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good brand, what I should look for and things I should avoid? I realize I'm completely out of my league on this one, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
