this is a brand new install. the old environment is so old that it was too 
expensive to upgrade it or buy something to hold both types of tapes. the ADIC 
is using DLT 8000 drives and we have the 40/80 GB tapes. the SDLT drives that 
can read them can only be bought from junk dealers.

since this is my first time setting up netbackup, it's a learning curve. and 
there is so much documentation it's too much to take in at once. when it 
discovered the robot, drives and tapes it automatically labeled them as dlt.

next week i'll probably change it to hcart. for now we'll probably use the old 
robot and server for old restores. but it has been flaky in the past and in 
case it dies for good we'll need to buy an old SDLT autoloader.
