Using Sony Tape Drives with Veritas BackupExec 8.6 on three different M$ nt/2k servers.

One drive already died, another appears to be failing, and the tapes are old enough to start failing.

So, I am concidering a SAN, NAS, etc. one of those neat networkable-plugitinandllyourworriesareover devices.

Anyone have a USEFUL suggestion which to concider, or should I concider one at all?

Thanks

Found something called FreeNAS - linux based system that supports RAID - It can boot from USB or floppy. Looks promising! I think I am going to give it a try:
