Re: Tape backup solutions

Terry,

How far apart are your 400's ? I ask because we just ":inherited"  a 500 and we
already have a 530 with a 3590 (and I LOVE the 3590...). I'd like to use the 
3590
on the 500 but was wondering about cable length. We originally had the 3590 on
our 320 and as we were getting ready to and finally moving to the 530, we used 
it
on both but they were side by side...

Thanks !

Chuck
