[OT] X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 22:55:41 -0000 Hello List, I have a question that's slightly off-topic, but not. I install high-end surveillance equipment for CCTV and such. I have a rather large client in Minneapolis who's using Dedicated Micros digital video recorders. The particular model we're using has a 500 GB hdd, but this client would like to archive images to tape for longer storage. As of now, we're only getting about 2 months of recording time. For off-site viewing, this unit can off-load images to a SCSI cd recorder. Does anyone suggest a tape backup device that would be SCSI and external, with a fairly high-capacity? I'm thinking around 50 GB? TIA -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588
