I'm looking to get an LTO-2 tape drive/autoloader for doing server

issues with it, so I'm thinking about trying something different.
(Tried calling Dell tech support but they weren't very helpful; they
seemed to only "understand" RedHat Linux.) Anyone have any
recommendations of a drive or autoloader that they have had good
experiences with on Debian Sarge?
I've used a couple of tape libraries (autoloaders) from 'adic' that work
very well. Ours have a DLT tape drive and interface through SCSI to the
computer (they are getting a little old now). I'm using 'bacula' as the
backup software. We had used 'amanda' for years and years, but bacula
works far better IMHO. I had to do a little scripting to get bacula to
control the autoloader, but this is described pretty well in the bacula
docs. I think when you decide on a backup application, its documentation
should give an idea as to what tape devices it supports.
