Re: [opensuse] Tape backup? - slightly OT

little off-topic but I'm looking into replacing our old DDS4 tape
drive which is now too small.
Our choice now looks like LTO, AIT or DLT as our total backup size is
now 80Gb. Has anyone got any good/bad experiences with any of these
technologies? I'm assuming that all will be recognised by SuSE on our
ervier which has both SATA and SCSI. What's the cheapest to buy and run?

We have three LTO drives, and one DLT drive. openSUSE works fine with
them all. LTO seems somewhat more reliable than DLT (we've had to swap
the DLT drives a couple times over the years), but that is ancedotal.
I think price ways they ate all about the same.
