Greetings!

I work technical support for the University of Kentucky Department of
Communication. We are looking for a DVD-R archiving solution for
roughly 10 Terabytes of information. We're envisioning a unit similar
to a DVD Duplicator, but instead of duplicating the same DVD 50 times,
we'd like to automatically create 50 unique DVDs to backup our
information. We want to be able to load 50 DVD's into the unit and
have it automatically archive the information with minimum user
intervention. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate a unit
that will do this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
Keith

Try Froogling "dvd-rom jukebox" and you'll find a bunch of hits. I don't
think you're going to find one as small as 50 disks--the smallest I see
holds 200.

Given the storage volume you're talking about, I'd take a real hard look at
DLT or LTO though.
