Re: [OT] Backup on DLT (recommandation)

Because I have no experience with it, I like to here some suggestions. My only problem is that my purse is very limited to =700 Euro. DLT is a quite expensive way to backup, especially considering the price of the tapes (50-100 euros). Depending on how many backups and how much data you want to keep around it might be interesting to look at other solutions (External harddrives, dvd, maybe blue-ray next year). Since harddrives run at about 100 euro's for 200 GB it's quite hard to beat those prices. Are the DLT only SCSI or do they exist in PATA and SATA too ? So far I've only seen SCSI versions, I'd think SATA is still quite far off for DLT (as there aren't even many cd/dvd drives on sata yet) -- Mark Janssen -- maniac(at)maniac.nl Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant PGP: 0x357D2178 Skype: markmjanssen ICQ: 129696007 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Multiple PPP Links to the Internet
Hi Debians... I have the following problem. I have 2 connections to the internet. The first (ppp0) is a pptp connection for ADSL connected to eth1 and the second (ppp1) is a ppp connection to a cablemodem connected to a serial port So I have: eth0: Local Lan 192.168.1.x/24 eth1: Lan to ADSL Modem: 10.0.0.0/24 ppp0: pptp over eth1 a.b.c.d/32 (Static IP) ppp1: ppp over serial e.f.g.h/32 (Dynamic) Now I want to use the DSL connection as a default, since it's a lot faster then the cable (yeah... it's a really crappy cable operator) and then use the cable as a backup system for when the ADSL is down (Since the ADSL is really new, and will be down occasionally). How do I setup my routing etc so that I will use ppp0 by default and use ppp1 when ppp0 isn't responding. While I'm at it... does anyone know of a way to keep the SNMP device number for the ppp0 and ppp1 devices at a default setting, they keep changing after every redial of pppd (and then my mrtg barfs up) -- Mark Janssen Unix Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 http: maniac.nl, unix-god.[net|org], markjanssen.[com|net|org|nl] Fax/VoiceMail: +31 84 8757555 Finger for GPG and GeekCode PGP signature
