Mine is a 7 slot changer using a Quantum DLT IV drive. That has 20G
uncompressed capacity. This is enough for what I need. But when
someone wants to backup also the videos it may be too small, too slow.
Videos I like to keep I put on DVDs. My server backs up itself, the
MythTV box and two workstations.
