Re: DLT devices

Tony, I'm not familiar with the DLT you mention, but we are running one of the 3483 (?) DLT units, and I'm very impressed with it, both for its speed and ability to compress data. I'm less impressed with some 'gotchas' concerning restore; last time I tested it I couldn't restore from a level 0 archive and NOT restore the log tapes. (Doing so requires inervention from Lenexa Support.) If you can avoid extraneous 'drop table' type statements, though, it works great.
