Backup

My HP Colorado tape streamer has died. What shall I replace it with?

I want it to be external, USB, Win2k support and I really only need 3Gb.

The options appear to be:

Onstream USB30 - which is over capacity and therefore slightly expensive
Seagate Tapestor Travan USB 4/8Gb

Any others/other options you would recommend, and any user experiences, please?

PS I've gone for a Seagate TapeStor. Seems ok.

I don't very often need to return to a backup but I did last week - I'd corrupted a database. Lucky I had Laplinked everything to my laptop in the absence of my Colorado!
