I've been trying to configure a tape drive and backup....
1. I have a Seagate TR-4 ATAPI/IDE tape drive
2. I have Mandrake-Linux 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe
3. Linux boot recognizes the tape, as does HardDrake -- at /dev/hdb
4. I don't know which of /dev/hdb# devices applies to the tape drive
5. I found documentation for KDAT with MD 7.2 Complete. but cannot find the
executable or configuration file.
5a. KDAT documentation discusses a special format -- is the standard TR-4
tape format valid?
6. I found "flexbackup" script on the distribution CDs. It installs OK, but
tells me that the device needs to be defined (it is in the script as /dev/hdb).
7. I found Arkeia, but it applies to a client-server, and a SCSI tape drive.
I have a stand-alone system with an ATAPI/IDE tape drive -- so it won't work.
Can anyone help with 5, 5a & 6? How do I configure the device so that Linux
sees it as a valid device? Where can I find KDAT?
Thank you! - Andy Lazarewicz
