Depends a little on what sort of software is on the tape drive. But, probably you can either use dump(8)/restore(8) or tar with no problem. They can dump/restore to/from remote devices/files. I have done it on some systems, though it has been a while since the last time because my hardware has changed. Dump/restore can be rather sensitive to version and host OS. jerry > > Thanks, > > > Jay > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
RE: Ultrium 920 Autoloader Question
Is this the HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2? I apologize if you've already checked this out, but it was my understanding that the NIC equipped on this device is for web based management of the device and that backup occurs over a normal storage interface such as SCSI.

Well, there has to be some type of software -- or firmware -- to be able to hang on the network. jerry > > > Jay > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
