OT: Quantum SDLT as a backup solution…Anyone?
Since we have been shooting more and more tapeless, I have gigs and gigs of gigs that I need to back up. DVD-R is way too small and time consuming, and I don’t really trust sticking a hard drive on a shelf (call me nuts, but it’s not good enough for me). Has anyone used DLT to back up their stuff? Quantum has a new one that operates on GigE and I was wondering if this is a viable method that people actually use…?
Thanks for any insight.

If you can afford it- IMHO that would be an ideal solution.

What is the entry price point for DLT?
Last time I checked I seemed to think a LTO3 was going to run $6000 and that came with a 800 gig cartidge? how much were the cartridges? under $1 a gig I think is dlt’s claim to fame right?

I’d google for pricing specifics. That Drive Jeremy is mentioning is quite cool though- works over gigabit ethernet so super fast from a G5 or MacPro and uses MXF natively. How exactly that works with the HVX not quite sure but it’s worth investigating.
