Hello networkers,

Currently, we are in the process of researching disk-to-disk backup systems. 
One possible contender is the Quantum DX-30 
http://www.quantum.com/AM/products/eb/dx30/default.htm . Our target 
configuration includes a AIT-3 tape library that would be used to clone the 
data from the DX-30 for off-site storage. The DX-30 writes the data as if it 
were writing to a DLT tape drive. So, in theory, we will end up cloning data 
from a DLT  medium to an AIT-3 medium. 

For the purposes of cloning, the Legato Networker admin guide does mention that 
the source and the destination could be of different types and capacities, I 
was wondering if anybody has implemented cloning where the source and 
destination formats were different and any issues that were encountered. 

Thanks in advance.

- Lancy
