Any opinions out there on what tape technology will dominate in the next year? Mammoth 2 is soon to be released, and promises to have better capacity and performance than DLT (7000/8000).
Super DLT is supposedly coming this quarter, and will leap frog Mammoth 2.
Any insights welcome.
Sorry if this is off topic. I figure, you folks have the storage, you have to back it up ;-).

We use DLT 7000's, we have 8 on our main backup system. In the last 6 months we have had to replace about 8 drives, though to be fair 3 arrived broken. We also seem to be seening some problems with former DLT4000 tapes that have been reformatted though it is hard to be sure.
