I agree with him. A lot of tape drives are supported under FreeBSD. If you have the money, try getting an Exabyte. They're fairly fast, very dependable, and support large amounts of information. They work well with amanda and the other archive programs for FBSD. silverwing "Francisco Reyes" <francisco@natserv.com> on 07/23/97 06:41:09 AM To: "questions@FreeBSD.ORG" <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> cc: Subject: Re:Tape drives for FreeBSD >From: Jerry Kelley <jerryk@iquest.net> >Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 22:44:41 -0500 >Subject: Re:Tape drives for FreeBSD > >Does anyone have a recommendation for a decently large capacity tape >drive that FreeBSD 2.1.5 recognizes? >From what I have read on the Handbook most SCSI tape drives should work. I recently got a Seagate CTM8000 (4Gig/8 compressed). It works well from FreeBSD, OS/2 and Windows 95 (don't have NT). I don't know about floppy based drives, but if you can afford the controller, SCSI should be a better choice. More backup software will support SCSI drives than floppy based ones.
