Hi, I am trying to find a reasonable backup (hardware) solution for a 1U rack-mount machine. I couldn't find any slim tape drives (that are not SCSI). Here are my options. Can anyone give more info whether these are feasible? 1. Buy an external hard-disk (20+ GB or so). Do USB external storage work on FreeBSD? Plus I should be able to connect and disconnect without reboot. 2. Put a slim CD-R drive on the machine. 3. Put a slim DVD-R ($$) on the machine. 4. rsync/ftp/scp the data out elsewhere. CD-R has the drawback that I can't fit more than 650 MB on a disk. Copying the data out would mean I would be paying double for the bandwidth (for all the data that came in - emails). Any help is appreciated. -- Hari Bhaskaran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
