Hi, Do any of you have experience in using SCSI tape drives on Linux? a) What additional hardware is needed for the tape drive to work, if the kernel has SCSI support and has SCSI devices already connected? b) How do you go about installing/configuring the drive, assuming we have the 'insmod st' done? c) Are tar/taper the only software needed/available for backup/recovery with tapes on Linux ? d) How is the reliability vis-a-vis on Windows ? e) Any tips on compatibility (RHL hardware compatibility list just says "most scsi tape drives" supported)? TIA. - Thanks Imagine Technologies Oommen 234, Huntington Ave Boston, MA 02115 Phone (Work):(617)437-9234 (Home):(617)770-9345 email:oommen at imaginetechnologies.com - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
