In my opinion, I have both.  The Travan is a fast backup, but if you had
to recover a crashed hard drive or perhaps even a small file in the
Windows directory you accidently erased, plan to wait at least 30 min.

The DAT on the other hand, has a much faster restore 3-5 minutes.  I
tend to use my tape drive as a temporary holding space, so I prefer the
DAT due to faster restore time.

If you choose the TRAVAN, I got a nice slightly used one FOR-SALE.
