What about LTO? Cybernetics has an iSAN product that would be a single backup solution for the AS/400 and the Windows network. Native tape drive capacity of 400 GB and 80 MB/s. Not sure how it would separate the 400 backup from the server backup... -----Original Message----- From: pctech-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctech-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:08 PM To: PC Technical Discussion for iSeries Users Subject: Re: [PCTECH] Network Backups Bob Cagle wrote: >I need to purchase a new backup solution for my network.

AIT-3 will go to 100/260GB, AIT-4 will go to 200/520GB. Downside is the cost of the cartridges when compared to the DDS4. DAT72 would be a shorter term solution with a capacity of 36/72 GB. Bill
