[SunHELP] Tape Library solution

Thu Jan 31 14:12:51 CST 2002

Have you looked at EBay to get a cheap Ultra 1/2, or even an old SPARC.  We
use to run an EXB-210 (2x8505, 10 tape) tape library off an Ultra 1.  It
worked fine.  We used Syncsort Backup Express with it.  The EXB-210 was
rather expensive back then ($15,000 I think).  You might be able to find one
on these on EBay too.

Hi,
I am desperately seeking a tape backup solution that is cheaper that
Compaq.  We need to have a 5 tape minimum robot and a system to connect
it to.
I have been looking at the L9 and a netra T1 ac200 but it blows the
budget.  We already have Veritas NBU and I am hoping to move the
licenses from Win2k to Solaris.

If anyone has found a cheap Sun solution (or non-Windows) for tape
backups (considering we are already using Veritas) could they please
advise?

TIA
Dave Baldwin
