I am using a Sony SDT 7000 DAT drive and a 20GB DEC DLT2000 Digital Linear Tape drive with BRU (www.estinc.com). I am very pleased with the results. BRU is the greatest backup utility for UNIX I've ever had the pleasure of using. It's roughly based on tar I think but it does SO MUCH more in terms of making sure your data is not corrupted. I would highly recommend that people look into BRU and DLT drives. There's no better way that I've been exposed to for backing up UNIX boxes Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
