I've been wanting one of these. It is a little pricey but it gets the
job done. I don't have enough data to justify get one. One of these days.

I do have a few questions.

   1. What tape backup software are you using?
   2. Does the backup hardware/software know what tapes are part of the
      data set.
         1. Thinking of data going on more then one tape
         2. Restoring from 2 or more tapes
