Charlie,

You'd think that someone has an Exabyte, uses it to dump a disk farm
with AIX as well as IBM/4.3 servers, and perhaps even uses an RT to
drive it, in lieu of a (machine)... If no one else has tried we can
call up Exabyte and its competitors.

I bought one to dump the dozen or so Sun 3/180 and 3/280 file servers
at my facility at SRI. The 2gb covered a lot of incrementals - though
I daisy chained the incrementals and did disk-to-disk dumps and just
had the weeklies moved to cassette.
