Dustin All my tape backup solutions revolve around SCSI based systems. My production servers used DLT8000 tapes (40/80gigs). The tapes are ~$50 each.
Depending on the lenght of retention, would saving or imaging the host(s) to a network attached server make sense for you? Sans units tend to be cheap compaired to tape drives. Slap a few 120g IDE drives in to an old PC and you are ready to back up 'on the cheap'. Bob Puryear wrote: > We have some FreeBSD servers that need to be backed up.
