[mythtv-users] Backup to tape options? Experiences with what works sought

[Andrew Davis]

I used Netvault from Bakbone with various DLT, LTO, and AIT drives and 
it works without issue. In fact, I recently had to do an Exchange DB 
restore of upwards of 300Gb (backup drive on RHEL host connecting to 
Windows client) and it restored it all perfectly. :)
