Hi Noor, generally from my experience I can't recomment DAT as a backup media. They are cheap but also not very durable. I rather recommend DLT or LTO drives. The reason for this is simple my experience showed me, that a DAT media gets unreadable after a year of use, then you have to buy new ones, with DLTs or LTOs I really can say they last very much longer (I admit my experience with LTOs is only for 2 years now ;-). - Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
