Would a UNIX media server also be faster?

Don't windows servers have a limitation on the tape buffer sizes?

&gt; It can be either but Windows media servers are a pain to work with.
&nbsp;If<br>
&gt; you add a tape drive to your library, expect to reboot a Windows media<br>
&gt; server (it took us 3 reboots before all was done). &nbsp;On our Solaris

&gt; <br>
&gt; If you have a choice, go with a Unix media server - AIX in your case<br>
