Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a need for solid automated backups on my companies webserver, so far I've tried both an HP DAT drive and Seagate DAT. The HP didn't live to long, and the Seagates performance has been laughable at best. I've only gotten a successful backup about 10% of the time. I need a system that can backup about 5 gigs of data daily. Here are the tails my last two logged attempts.. DUMP: 89.11% done, finished in 0:09 DUMP: write error 1964580 blocks into volume 1 DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. DUMP: estimated 2117660 tape blocks. DUMP: write error 20 blocks into volume 1 DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
