Try to read up on amanda - if nothing else works atleast you can do backups with tar. So you should definitely read about tar and cpio and then continue on amanda. Assuming it is a SCSI tape drive it would probably be autodetected by Linux and can be used as /dev/st0 in most cases. Best thing to do would be to plug it in and see what your OS says when it boots up. Mithun __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
