Some of my DDS-4 tapes are bad (I/O error).
So... i´m thinking if these tapes are trustworthy... :-/
Are there another better solution, that I can trust more than DDS-4 ?
Maybe DLT ?
Many people say DLT is better than DDS, but I personally have had some
very bad experiences with DLT *drives*, so I've ditched that technology
and never want to touch it again. Using LTO has been nothing but joy
these past 2 years.
I still have one DDS4 drive in service and it's been quite reliable -
you just need to use the cleaning tape regularly. But some DDS drives
*have* died on me.
