We have an Exabyte hooked up to the SCSI port on a Sun 3/60, to which our Sequent S27 does rdump's. We can dump 100MB from three zd disks in about 16 minutes (according to last night's level 6). For safety's sake, we still do level 0s onto the 1/2" drive, but we probably don't have to (there's always the boot tapes). We got our drive from Perfect Byte (an excellent company to deal with, BTW) for $4,000. Tapes are $7 for the 2GB variety. Exabyte now recommends a cleaning every 30GB, so we're buying the two-cycle cleaning kit for $25. Anyone wanna buy 80 1/2" 2400ft magtapes? :-) -- Jim Battan uunet!sequent!qtc!battan +1 503 626 3081 Quantitative Technology Corportation (QTC) 8700 SW Creekside Place, Suite D Beaverton, OR 97005
