Nope. : Looking forward to your reply. If you can locate the tape backup unit on a win/win95/dos machine other than the one your run FreeBSD on you could mount your freebsd partitions with "samba" or something and back 'em up that way. If you can find drivers for this for Linux or NetBSD etc I'll have a look at porting it.
