Backup is a must. What are recommendations for tape backup systems that > are reliable and work well with FBSD? Thinking of backups..... are CDROM driven backup devices at a sufficient state of the art to be workable these days if level 0 dumps are not required? I can't offhand forsee that more than 600mb of data would need to be backedup after the initial system setups. Writing CD's as backups, if sufficient spare buffer space was available to work from, would seem like a potentially workable backup mode. Anyone doing this or are there any recommendations for this mode of backup on FreeBSD?
