Reply-to: scott@statsci.com Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi- I'm considering getting a used one of those guys (external SCSI; 4mm DAT tapes 2GB native / 4GB compressed) with my primary use being to back up my home FreeBSD (& other OSs) system occasionally. Does anyone have any experience with them, horror stores, etc?
