DAT tape drive compatibility with FreeBSD?
Hi all, I was just wondering what tape drives (DAT) people use with FreeBSD for backup? I was thinking of a HP Superstore DAT 40I. Any experiences with that? Has anyone got the One Button Disaster Recovery function working in FreeBSD? I didn't see FreeBSD on the HP's compatilibity table (http://www.hp.com/products1/storage/compatibility/tapebackup/software/index.html) but I don't think that is a issue though?

I use a Surestore 12000e (DDS2 autoloader) with no problems.

I noticed this myself. There probably isn't enough of a customer base to justify *BSD support. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

HP DAT drives generally work ok with FreeBSD - we have a DAT40 [external] and DAT24 [external] on a box here, both work fine... They appear as standard SCSI tape drives... The one-touch recovery button stuff, AFAIK won't work - it's dependant on HP drivers software under windows etc... Having seen the mess it made of a friends one touch recovery under Windows, I'm not too keen to see that working under Unix anyway :-) -Kp ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DAT tape drive compatibility with FreeBSD?
I've never had problems getting a SCSI tape drive to work with FreeBSD; however, I've never tried any of the proprietary software solutions. I use dump/restore with an ADIC VLS DLT changer (20/40GB drive) purchased on eBay for $200. I have used an HP DAT changer, Archive DAT changer, and Sony DAT drive in the past. Thanks, nice to hear! I was thinking of using afbackup which I have used under Linux. It seems like a very nice tool and if it works just as good in FreeBSD (why wouldn't it :)) it's my choise. I have never used dump/restore so I think I have to look into them as well. -- Johan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
