Edmond" To: questions@freebsd.org cc: hackers@freebsd.org Subject: Tape Backup - some questions Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am seeking advice on purchasing a tape backup system. I need a straight 4GB (advertised as 8GB with compression) DAT SCSI-2 tape backup system for my Pentium Pro 200mhz FreeBSD 2.1.5R. I *don't* want Travan technology as the tapes are consistently 400% of the price of DAT systems. 1) What is a good Brand/Model of a SCSI-2 DAT tape backup sytem with 4 gigs of straight (or 8 compressed) storage? 2) Can I configure dump to compress while backing up? I'd like to get as much information as I can on each tape... ? Andy PS: I'll do a write up to share with the group on what I find out. Any help is appreciated! ........................................................................... . Andrew Edmond ..... American Libertarian ** VOTE ** . .. edmond@lycaeum.org .....
