I'm looking to build a 'tapeless' backup system using a FreeBSD backup staging server running both fixed and portable hard drives. The portable drive I fancy is the LaCie 'Pocket Drive' with both USB2 and Firewire interfaces. See: http://www.lacie.com/au/products/product.htm?id=10023 The hardware compatibility guide does not mention these products. The results of various google searches on the subject of USB mass storage support in FreeBSD suggest that this area is still generally not well supported. Has anyone had any experience with these particular drives (or any other portable mass-storage solutions) under FreeBSD 4.9 or 5.2.x? I would love to wave goodbye to tapes forever! Thanks in advance for your responses and suggestions. Nick
