We use ADSM and Arcus at my real job.. We have a Sun 5500 hooked up to a
IBM 3494 ATL, and nightly ship off tapes for Disaster Recovery purposes.
We send the tapes to Arcus in Green, "Open Storage" boxes, and send them
one or two tape a night on average, and request back about the same. We
just reference the Tape ID Code thats on the label.

Does this help at all?
