Not to get off of the subject, but what made you decide on the 3592 tape
configuration?  My thoughts are, what if you lose 1 tape with 1TB of data
on it and it didn't make the offsite copy yet?  Also, have you had many
problems with the 3592's?  Thanks!

Not sure of the price Diff, but we are in the midst of 3590 > 3592's and
the 3592's really rock.  We are seeing 169GB an hour for our 3590 - 3592
Move data's(faster from 3592 to 3592) and our Unix Data is seeing tape
sizes from 900Gb toi 1 TB.

I have a 3494 with Magstar tapes 3590  and I would like to use a 3584 with
LTO tapes . What do you think about this choice (fiability,reliability..) .

Kind regards
