Any DAT drive should do you fine. I have a Connor Python drive (2 Gig)
and it works flawlessly with Ami-BACK. Its not nearly as fast as
say...an Exabyte but its WAY cheaper. I think I pay'd $1500 Canadain for
it so its probably just over $1000 US. I don't think you'll find many
DAT drives for less then 1K. However they may be much cheaper down
there, who knows.
I'm not sure eactly how fast the drive is (never tested the speed) but it
takes about 2 hours to Back up about a GIG I think.
