Next tape backup beyond DDS-4

[Garet Jax]

Is there another logical step beyond DDS-4 that stores a little more data? My DDS-4 solution is starting to get very tight on space.

Thanks.

There's DAT72.

dds5 32/72

why dont you at least double it to something like sdlt 160/320, or lto i 100/200

getting extra 16 gb by getting a new drive isn't worth it.. unless you like the dds/dat format

As much as we all hate Sony, they do make some very nice (and very reliable) low cost AIT tape drives.

I agree with you. The minimum I was looking at was $100 + media.

I'll look at the costs of the ones you recommended. Thanks.
