Replacing a couple older W2k servers that have tape backups installed on them. They are unsing NTBackup called by a scheduled task batch. Looking at an HP network solution using Veritas for different servers (SQL, Exhcange) to 1 tape location. Any suggustions of SDLT vs LTO would be helpfull. Or, should I look in another direction? Thanks - Paul

Tape type for upgrade

How much data to store?
Personaly I'd go for LTO2 over SDLT , more storage per tape and much faster mb/s write speed.
LTO2 = 200/400Gb with write speed of 35/70 MB/s
SDLT 320 = 160/320GB with write speed of 16/32 MB/s
Most people are looking at utilising their backup storage more effectively though and using disk as the primary and then archiving off to tape, depends on the strategy that you need for your environment.
