Hmmm. I'm still using DLT-IV tapes for backup. How would I go about getting
my hands on, say, 20 or 40 (price dependent) of them??

Ehh, it's not as nice as my 574-slot STK library that I got last
summer. :)
BTW, I've got about a thousand surplus DLT-IV tapes that I need to start
getting rid of soon (they're tapes that used to be in our HSM system at
work). They're all used, but degaussed, and were working just fine
while we were using them up until the end of December.
If anyone needs some tapes, let me know... I'm in West Lafayette, IN.
