Took a look at Arkeia. Very nice product, but their quote was roughly 
twice the price of a similar ARCserve 9 setup. The difference maker was 
the native support for single drive libraries rather than selling an 
additional add-on package. Arkeia also charges $40 per tape slot, which I 
find outrageous on a single drive library.
