Robotic Library Tape Drives

[LuckyTaxi]

I'm looking for a robotic library tape drive, preferably one that houses 10 tapes.
I've used a Sony brand from a previous job but getting support from them was like pulling teeth. We currently do disk->disk copy onto a 500gb LUN on our SAN. From this mount point (/backup), we want to stash the files under their onto a tape for archiving purposes.

Any suggestions?

What's your budget? if you need 500GB of storage you're looking at something like LTO3, SDLT II or AIT5.

i just spoke with overland and they said this would fit my budget. http://www.overlandstorage.com...oducts/arcvault12.html

Not sure about cost but at the same time I dont want to spend $5000 if i can find a similar setup for much cheaper from a different vendor.

You can find that device for under $4,000.
