Re: Tape backup / Bizzare Device Question
Hi Graham, Not sure about the first part, but the device is called a radiometer. http://radiometer.hobbytron.com/Radiometer.html http://science.howstuffworks.com/question239.htm Greg Graham Bentley said: Is there a way to create a hdd resore solution with set of boot floppies that will support my tape drive access the tape and restore the entire hard disc in case of disc failure disaster ? ie So I could install a new disc and be up and running without doing any additional admin? I guess like a 'ghost' for scsi tape ? Any advice / links etc apperciated. Also Description: Glass bulb, similar to light bulb but with narrow end flared at bootom so it standsup. Inside, a rotating wire device that has 4 squares of card like material attached, like vanes. One one side they are black on the other they are white. When the sun shines brightly enough, the white side reflects the light energy and the black side absorbs it. The vanes spin around. This does exist and has a name and I know there are some very knowledgeable people on this list who will know.

Look at Bacula. http://www.bacula.org/ Although I haven't bothered to create a restore boot-cd yet, my restore procedure doesn't require it, I believe I saw documentation about it somewhere in there. Plus it's a fine backup/restore application. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've seen them called other things, like a lightmill or a light gauge. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
