I've been using HP SureStore 7000 (which is DLT70, I
believe, + 6 tapes library) on SCO OpenServer for about
two years, HP DLT40 on RH6.2 for about a year with DLT IV
tapes. Had a small problem with library long ago - didn't
always detect that the tape is in slot. Got that replaced
without problems. No problems since. LOVE DLT! LOVE the
speed. On SCO, it takes about 2 hrs to backup 15Gb/130
mil records Informix DB and about 4 hrs to backup 12 file
systems with 23 Gb on them.
Numbers might be not that impressive - I don't use any
backup packages, just good old plain ontape and cpio.
Still very happy with hardware.
I think DLT80 is around $1400 at http://cdw.com
