Hello ! I am the hostmaster of BemarNet Management (Internet Service Providers in Europe). I am in the process of buying a tape backup unit for my system. The system configuration follows :=20 - 1 Pentium machine with FreeBSD 2.0 and 4 Gb. SCSI Hard Drive. - 1 Pentium machine with FreeBSD 2.0 and 2 Gb. IDE Hard Drive. - 2 NT Servers with 4 Gb. SCSI Hard Disk.=20 - 10 Windows '95 machines with 1 Gb. IDE Hard Disk. All the computers are conected to a LAN using NE-2000 network cards with NetBIOS and TCP/IP, and this LAN is connected to a CISCO 2501 Router with a T1 to the Internet. I have installed samba in both the FreeBSD machines. The information I need to backup follows : - The whole disks of the two FreeBSD machines (About 6 Gb.) - The shared directories of the two NT Servers (About 2 Gb.) I have SCSI interfaces in one of the FreeBSD machines and in the NT Servers. I am looking for a reliable and fast solution for perfoming this backups. I think the best solution is an external SCSI DAT Drive 4-8 Gb., connected to the NT Servers for doing the backups of the NT machines, and connected to the SCSI FreeBSD machine for doing the backups from both freebsd machines. I have the following questions : - =BF Do you know about a reliable DAT SCSI Unit fully compatible with FreeBSD and NT ?=20 - =BF Can I do a backup in this unit from one FreeBSD machine to the other= ?=20 - =BF Can I do backups of the NT Servers using the FreeBSD machine ?=20 - =BF Can I do backups of the FreeBSD machines using the NT Servers ? =20 Thanks in advance, +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Antonio Navarro Navarro E-mail: webmaster@bemarnet.es | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | BemarNet Management Phone : +34-6-165.66.44 | | Makes business easier... ,,, Fax : +34-6-165.65.14 | | http://www.bemarnet.es (o o) | +------------------------------o00-(_)-00o------------------------------+ | Have a nice day - Have a nice day - Have a nice day - Have a nice day | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
