You should definitely add the BakBone backup s/w (ndmp version) to your short list..I just installed and set it up today pointing at a SL Bullfrog 10K..got about 10mb/sec (ave) backing up an Oracle database..very easy to install and much easier to learn to use..

We've recently purchased an AIT-2 library (Spectralogic Gator 64000) which we are still testing out and evaluating software on before putting into production. We have some DLT-7000 drives around the place, and have been replacing them fairly regularly due to problems that we chose not to purchase another DLT-7000 based library.
Based on feedback from this list, we're not even considering Legato's Networker (for it's poor quality in NDMP support). We've been focusing on Syncsort Backup Express, Quadratec Time Navigator and Veritas NetBackup Data Center.
i need to backup our f760, currently about 200GB. i will be testing
legato

system. i
