Hello, all. I have a small webserver/mail server running Gentoo. I need to
find a backup solution that will work for this type of setup. Unfortunately,
there is no working driver for a parallel floppy-protocol (backpack) tape
drive for Linux 2.6. I've tried LOTS of things to get that drive working
(it's an Iomega ditto QIC-80 parallel port floppy-protocol tape drive). I
also bought a very low quality DVD+RW drive (MagicSpin non-MMC, non-Ricoh -
no English drivers or instructions, even for windoze). It fails to do
anything in Linux. Most of the time it tells me that there is no media
inserted when there clearly is. Other times it gets 3 quarters of the way
through the write and throws an I/O error. I need to be able to back up
around 32-40MB nightly and around 1.2GB weekly. Speed doesn't matter. Any
ideas? Thanks!
