Aargh!). I saw a scsi tape for $499 (ouch!). Then I remembered the Zip drives (and the new 135 meg Syquest). What do you think of these drives? Will they both work under FreeBSD? I will be using BRU to do backups. (Assuming it works - need something to backup to). Does anyone have any experience with BRU? TIA.
