Hello all, I'm in the process of defining a centralized backup system for a few servers. Since we already use DDS technology and the total backup volume is relatively low (~120GB), I'm considering using Amanda/FreeBSD/DDS-Autoloader (one or more autoloaders). I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions: - Are HP DDS autoloaders SCSI-tape-changer compatible? And what models are known to work with FreeBSD? At HP's website I find a few products of interest: --SureStor: ---dat40x6e tape autoloader, C5717B, External autoloader --Smart Storage ---dds-4 autoloader, C4318sz#111 ---dds-4 autoloader, C6370A ---dds-4 autoloader, C6371A - Are there other DDS autoloaders products, known to work with FreeBSD? We have a few Dell PowerEdge 4400 that shipped with a Sony (TSl-9000) internal autoloader, that we didn't manage to make it work, with chio or mtx. We also found some comments out there, saying that this equipment always requires manual intervention to change its takes.
