You need a separate SCSI controller to drive the DLT drive. It

I just caught this thread and was wondering what type of tape drive
you're trying to use?
I went through evaluating Linux as a potential replacement for one
of our backup servers (very old SGI Challenge DM) and tested the
following drives:
DLT4000 (in a stacker)
LTO (IBM and Seagate)
Sorry, should have said OS boot instead of OS install. When the tape drive
is hung and you try a warm boot linux hangs when trying to boot the kernel.

You must add the following lines to the /etc/rc.local file:
modprobe ide-scsi # or insmod ide-scsi
hdparm -d0 /dev/hdx # where x = your tape drive (hdc or hdd perhaps?)
mt -f /dev/st0 stoptions no-blklimits

Has anyone successfully installed a Seagate
STT22A-RDT Travan 5 tape drive under RH 7.3 and gotten it to backup???
If so, what device name does it go by? I have one installed as the
slave device on IDE2. Linux seems to see it fine, because there are 53
status messages in the '

Hi,
Is it possible to get a Iomega tape drive working? It plugged into the
floppy controller. It is a 2Gb tape drive. I have RH8.1 on my PC.
On boot up it does not see the tape drive. not sure if I should have
additional drivers.

Subject: RE: backing up - RAID or tape drive?
Why not both? If your OS (I'm assuming that you're using Red Hat Linux)
supports software RAID then you can use it. Disk (especially IDE-based
disk) is cheap and
I prefer a manual replacement for RAID using rsync (to maintain the ability
to recover from unintended deletions). I also prefer CD-ROMs to tapes, but
of course that only works for relatively small backup sets. (DVD-ROMs will
be more interesting).
I use rsync to mirror locally as follows:

If you can afford it, go for a tape drive. External Media is always a

We want to back up our data.
Someone has suggested using software RAID but I thought
that a tape drive of some sort would be more appropriate
for backing up.

do you want to do periodic backups so that you can restore the machine to
back up our data.

This drive is supposed to be the same as an HP 1533. I found a place on
HP's site telling how to set it up under Linux, but here's another
question. I have a friend who wants to back up some POS machines running
under DOS, is there a way to use these tape drives under DOS? I've been
searching, I
