Thanks, all who responded, but I'm still looking for info on tape drives. Situation is that the server is in a data center with a tape librarian (yep, a person, not a mechanical arm) who rotates tapes offsite every night and keeps a month's worth of backups. The only reason I'm not backing this system up using HP Omniback with a library connected to an hp9000 is that it will sit outside the firewall and I don't want to handle that traffic on the firewall.
So... I'm still looking for any opinions on direct-attach scsi tape drives that are compatible with redhat. Thanks for the advice to avoid Travan, btw. Anyone doing backups to tape on a regular basis? What do you use? -- Trever > -----Original Message----- > From: Furnish, Trever G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 9:25 AM > To: Redhat List (E-mail) > Subject: What backup solution for direct-attach? > > > Howdy, all, > > I'm looking for recommendations on backup software, scsi > controller, and > tape drive for use in backing up a single redhat server.
