What I'm wondering is whether it 'll work with FreeBSD? I have a couple of systems running 1.1.5.1 with Exabyte 8200 (2.3gb) drives on them. They ``mostly'' work :-) They do seem to be rather tempermental. > Any happy users out there? I guess I'm fairly happy. Multi-file restores have been my biggest challenge.
