Can you explain more what you want here? Seems easier to have a cold
standby and swap the cable if the machine dies.

I have used several Dell models and an IBM model and a SpectraLogic
model with Bacula. As well as Overland and Quantum.
They were all LTO-based and very similar in spec and operation.
IMHO, you want LTO-4 today, not LTO-3.
On this list, we have not recently heard of any new libraries _not_
working with Bacula; I think there used to be many more problems "back
in the day", but now things are better. That MSL6030 looks good.
