Tape backup using a OnStream SC-30
Hi I am having trouble trying to backup data using an OnStream ADR drive. I have read the dump, sa, sr, tar man pages and have googled as well, but am still having no joy. I have the following results: dmesg: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 sa0: OnStream SC-30 1.05 Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 7) camcontrol devlist -v: scbus0 on ahc0 bus 0: OnStream SC-30 1.05 at scbus0 target 4 lun 0 (pass0,sa0) at scbus0 target -1 lun -1 () scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0: at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0) [09:38 AM [EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# /sbin/dump -0uan -f - /data1 | gzip -2 |dd of=/dev/sa0 DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jun 4 09:44:07 2003 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/ad0s1h (/data1) to standard output DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] dd: /dev/sa0: Invalid argument [09:56 AM [EMAIL PROTECTED] dev]# tar c /data1 tar: /dev/sa0: Cannot open: Invalid argument tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I am at my wits end, I seriously need to get this backup working. I have found some reports that the SCSI adaptor, using the aha78xx driver coupled with this OnStream drive might be incompatable. Either that or I am doing something wrong, please help.

No, you don't do sth. wrong. Onstream did but didn't tell it it's customers before the buy. The produced streamers with an SCSI interface but didn't respect the SCSI streaming access commands, but implement an own command set. You can do some things to get it work: 1) Port the linux driver to FreeBSD 2) Use vmware to run either linux or windows which may grant access 3) Use another streamer 4) Use another backup medium. just like cdr Jens ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you have any idea what tape drives are best for the FreeBSD platform as I have no intention to changing my clients server to Linux. I know there are almost none listed on the hardware lists. At first: Please ever send at least a carbon copy to the list you've asked first. This have 2 reasons: 1) The list is archived and any later similar question could easily be answered by searching the archives. 2) The replyer may not be able to help you further than (s)he already did. Second: Sorry, I don't know. Nearly every big manufacturer should do. The new onstream streamer, for example, do. But I'm disappointed by onstream, so if I were you, I would use another manufacturer, eg. IBM, HP, ... Searching the archives or ask google may help.
