    hi,

    I've heard quite a bit and would like to get a good handle on the issue.

    Obviously, the Travans are not working as expected. What does the
    issue appear to be/resemble? Does it appear that the hardware does
    not work or faulty? Or does it appear to be that the driver/config doesn't
    go far enough unlike the other brands?

    I've used Travans a couple of times and have actually recovered from a
    full backup on SBS4.5 and SBS2k (different Travans). Sure it wasn't a
    OBDR and lots of things to config afterwards. Recently I had some
    problems 'transfering data files' from one server to another via Travan and
    it make me sit up. I suppose, tapes are not meant for doing this but then
    shouldn't it work since in a DR situation, one would build another server
    and with only a similar tape drive?
