Re: [SLUG] BPB ADSL PPPoA

2002-05-26 Thread Matt Hyne
From what I understand, these are the Speedtouch Pro models which can do the authentication themselves - so you do not need to do anything on the client side. For PPPoA, you need an ATM connection which is your modem's DSL port. Matt At Monday, 27-05-02 14:15 (+1000), Howard Lowndes wrote

Re: [SLUG] tar backups to tape

2002-04-09 Thread Matt Hyne
Generally, tapes are streaming, so it is possible that if the transfer rate across the network is slow then more tape may be required for the same amount of data. Really - you need to determine the bottleneck - can you tar from one machine to the HDD on another and see how long it takes -

Re: [SLUG] tar backups to tape

You can try using tar with the I flag - that will use bzip2 compression. However, if you value your data - NEVER use compression on a backup - should part (ie one bit) of the backup be corrupted (common with tapes) the whole archive is useless. Matt At Wednesday, 10-04-02 12:13 (+1000
