[SunHELP] L280 software support?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Jeffrey

Sorry, I do not have the hardware or else I would not have asked before
trying it. I have had them in before, but always went to Sun user.

Anyway general consensus is that it should work fine.

Thanks

Peter

Yeah, pretty much what I figured, just an editorial comment. :)

Unfortunately I do not know any details about that hardware. Sorry.

Do you have the library in hand? Your first message says "We have a customer
who is interested in moving it to Backup Exec server if possible." My own
feeling is that if you already have the hardware, and already have the
software, the empirical method often yields the fastest and most useful
results. If taking the server down for such a test is contraindicated,
perhaps temporarily setting up the backup software on a test system might be
possible.

Just a thought. Best luck with your search.
