I have a Seagate Travin TR-4 tapedrive that's currently in my Windows
machine. I'm planning on pulling it out and putting it in my ML 9.0
machine before I do the new install of the system. It will be installed in
the slave position on the ribbon cable, on the second IDE controller for
the motherboard (the master is the CD-ROM).
Two questions: How do I reference the tape drive? Since it's not a disk
type device, I don't think that /dev/hdd will do it. Would it be as simple
as /dev/tape? Something else? Also, is there a reasonably good backup
program (preferably something free, but an inexpensive one would be fine as
well) that will use the tape drive? The next time I manage to destroy my
system, it would be awfully nice if I could just restore from the last
backup.... :-) Any information would be appreciated.
