We had an Overland "library express" model in my last shop. A modular
design, "stackable", build around DLT.

I have no complaints about it other than it was slow.  Any tape moving
to the drive module had to move down a little shaft to the elevator,
ride the elevator to te drive module, then travel that aisle to the
drive.  The mechanism was reliable, just not swift.  

Not usually a big deal unless you're doing bunches of small, scattered
backups.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Overland Neo tape libraries -- Any good?

I'm researching tape libraries, and I'm looking at the
Overland Neo 2000 tape library and the SUN STK SL48.
Any words of wisdom?
Any personal experience?

I'm also curious to hear from people who have different Overland Neo
models.
Are they well build?
Is their tech support decent?
Any driver or compatibility issues(specifically with Netbackup)?



Thanks in advance,
Jon
