[mythtv-users] Backup LVM group (kinda OT)

[James Oltman]

I am getting my hands on a slightly used DDS4 external SCSI tape drive.  I am also getting about 7 tapes.  I have a SCSI card already.  I would like to back up my video files on my Myth BE.  I am currently having one or more of these three issues.  I am using an ATI Radeon 7000 AGP card.  I think the drivers I have might be causing the system to lock up.  I might have shoddy RAM as well.  But the most plausible explanation could be the severely under powered PSU.  It's only 380W for 3 120GB drives and one 80GB drive.  I also have a DVD burner running off it as well.  In any case, my BE is not recording shows anymore.  I would like to start with a fresh Fedora Core 3 install.(Primarily because I hear FC4 has some issues).  What kind of problems am I going to see adding a SCSI card to this setup?  Is there any easy way to install or user friendly software I can use to copy all my data to these tapes?  i figure that 7 x 40 is 280GBs.  Much more than I currently need but more than I have in available space on other HDDs.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Jim

BTW:

Current Kernel is 2.6.10.1-776
