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

I've never heard of a 50 DVD carousel, even for enterprise applications.
For archival backups that large, it's typical to use a tape jukebox of some
sort - how come you folks aren't doing that?
