Second issue: I have an old tape drive (DDS2) that connects to my SCSI
chain. It is an old HP C1539, I think, and I cannot get Mac OS 7.6.1
to format and read from the tapes. I have tried MicroNet and Lido
software, and nothing will even acknowledge that a tape is present! It
sees the drive (Sequential-Access Tape Drive), and a model number and
other pieces of minor info, but it doesn't see the tape. Is it
possible to use an old tape drive like that as another drive? For
example, can I insert a tape into the drive, and (somehow) store files
to it like I can a hard drive?
Is it the lack of software I'm using…should I be using something more
specific? If so, DL links would be appreciated!
In my limited experience with tape backup on an SE, it is nothing like a HDD
backup.
IIRC backup software and drivers came with the tape drive. The software
would allow you back up or restore a specified HDD, volume, folder, or
perhaps a specific file if all that was needed. To restore you would have to
go to that backup session and restore the entire session. It was not a drag
and drop operation.
My memory is fuzzy but don't think anything disk icon mounted on the desktop
during the backup. Others will add and/or correct. --glen
