I am the DLT King.
Over the past month or so, I’ve really gotten into DLT drives for doing backups. Within the next week or so, I should have my backups running smoothly on a DLT 7000.
More, later.

What are you doing with DLT instead of LTO?
Backups!
BTW, this post is 10 years old, and I was using the DLT host tape library was given to me.
About a year later, I was using an LTO-4 tape library. See https://dan.langille.org/2016/03/10/using-baculas-btape-speed-test-on-freebsd-10-2-and-an-lto-4-tape-drive/
I should buy another LTO-4 tape drive – the library is failing to POST.
Holy cow, 20 years old, actually. I assumed it was new because it was displayed to me as a related post. My question was more, why DLT when LTO is better, but 20 years ago, they were probably neck-and-neck.
Yeah, I don’t know why it’s highlighting that.
I still need to get back to tape backups.
