> The backup devices I am
evaluating are
1. HP Ultrium 448 Tape Drive
2. HP DLT VS160 Tape Drive
3. HP SDLT 320
4. HP SDLT 600
I would like to know whether these backup devices are fully compatible
with Amanda. Does anybody on this list use these backup devices in
his/her setup ? Suggestions for any other suitable backup device are
also welcome.
amanda does not really care about your backup device, be it a tape
drive, removable media or even local disks. As long as your OS can see
and write to the drive (and control the robot if you have one) then you
should be set.
Personally i have used amanda with dds3,dds4,LTO, LTO2 and LTO3 tape
drives and robots from HP and Dell without issue using MTX to control
the robot. My amanda servers have allways been linux from RH7.3 upto
CentOS4.3
hope that helps some
