X-URL: http://www.freebsd.com/mailto.html Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm looking into getting a higher capacity tape drive, and apparently FreeBSD doesn't support anything than the QIC-40/80 tape... I want to use the QIC-3020 or TR3 tape drives and tapes... They're more cost effective for me to use them than getting a 1000$ DAT drive to backup my system... I'm also getting this kind of thing because its compatible with Win/Dos/Win95 and all that junk.... The Exabyte 96 is $200 for 1.7GB Tape backup which Is what I really want... I want to be able to toss EVERYTHING on my drive into one tape... Please tell me I don't have to use a cruddy little QIC-80 drive or a dat...
