Hello, I have a very general question about backing up to tape from a remote computer. The tape drive is unfamiliar territory for me, and I'm looking for recommendations for a sequence of steps to take. Both machines are running fbsd 4.*, the local machine is a recent 4.9 STABLE, and the tape drive is a Conner CTD800R-S. Will it be possible, or advisable, to use a utility to back up over the net directly to the tape, or should we be creating a local mirror and backing up this? I know that these are very basic questions, but I felt that posting here in isp might give me a more informed response. Recommendations about utilities or howtos to look into greatly appreciated, -- thanks, Sean
