Just so others better understand pricing: VAULT price is significantly
affected by number of tape drives. My (.edu), one media server, 4-drive
NBU system now has a VAULT whose cost didn't have as many digits as the
quote above. Gray House Solutions (http://www.grayhousesolutions.com/) 
should also be seriously considered, IMHO.
