Hi!
Please help me with an advise regarding purchase a new tape drive that
must (all criteria must be satisfied):
(-) works on a SCSI Adaptec Controller
(-) works on a RedHAt 6.2 distribution with the original 2.2.16
kernel, without the need to recompile that kernel.
(-) be supported by Amanda
(-) have at least 20 no-compressed GB tape drives that don't get
defective to easy
(-) be produced by a well known & seriuos company, relatively known for
backup products
(-) not be an external drive; I need an internal drive
(-) have a decent and fair price for all of that
Currently I had an OnStream ADR50 tape drive but its tapes goes defective
too fast and are too expensive and meantime that company went out of
business :-( (anyway, it was not my ideea to use their products) and I had
to spent a whole day until someone from the list helps me ti figure out
that I had to recompile Amanda with --without-fsf option in order to get
restore works.
So now I'm looking for a tape, with characteristics described like above,
that makes me happy with doing safety backups.
Thanks in advance,
Socrate
