I believe that, in MacOS X, there are no drivers for tapes included, i.e. no /dev/stX or /dev/saX. I guess proprietary software brings their own drivers. >> And if yes, has someone tested that on MacOS X or Linux? Anyone out >> there >> using this storage loader regularly? I don't think many Bacula users use tape drives under MacOSX... you'll probably get better feedback in some MacOS-related forums or something. >> I have to test this storage loader as a backup device, and tests with >> Retrospect and PresSTORE are unsatisfying so far; I would like to >> find out >> if the storage loader is simply unreliable or if the support for it >> in the >> named software is poor.
