Hello,

DLT VS160 - SCSI is supported on Windows 2003 and 2008.

NetBackup is not available on eval. Contact a symantec partner if you're looking to evaluate it.

Hi Riaan, you mean it does not support linux? have read this post

I gues you really are right..thank you for the response.

Hello,

That post is from the Backup Exec forum so I'm not sure what you're referring to. I've posted the link to the NetBackup hardware compatibility list. You may open it and check your device support.

I do not recommend using any DAT tape drives due to reliability reasons. Consider LTO.
