which aren't atm, the 2dn seagate 2T drive failure was my amanda vtapes
drive, and bookworm has been such a headache I not managed to restart it
since all the helper scripts I've written over the last 20+ years were
either on the main drive of on the vtapes drive, so I'm restarting from
square one.
rsync running for about an hour at a --bwlimit-5m, so progress makes a
slug look speedy.

the last line, 22G out of about 350G total. But it hasn't locked me up,
yet...
That is a good reason to validate your backup/ restore processes.
I still have about 20 QIC tapes from that machine, but now no drives
to read them. I need to cull the midden heap.
That is a good reason to backup/ archive onto multiple media types.
If you have the facility's.
ATM I have rsync in its 7nth attempt to make a copy of the nominally
350G in /home, and its now working again, very slowly with a
--bwlimit=5m. IOW these taiwanese gigastone 2T SSD drives cannot handle
data in big gulps. the copy locked me up and needed the reset button
twice already this morning at 20m and 10m, so now trying 5m. These
drives, if 5m allows it to complete, will get a damning review on amazon
if only 5m allows it to work. U-sd cards are faster than that.

Thanks David, take care now.
