Re: tlug: <Q> Tape Drive

   I'm not familiar with either of those model numbers, but for 1G/Week
   backups I'd recommend that you look into media prices before
   deciding.  Tapes for the 1/4" QIC drive I mentioned will cost about
   1Man per week, while tapes for an 8mm or DAT drive would be much
   less (assuming multiple dumps per tape).
