Greetings To GTALUG Members,
A setback has occurred in my project to acquire a new Linux PC.
On the Windows XP PC that is going to be replaced by the new Linux PC,
the DDS-3 DAT SCSI tape drive has died, that does backup duty for the
HDD. Died too soon by only a couple of months -- !@#$%^&*(!!
Since it could still take a few months for me to complete the
acquisition of and conversion to the new Linux PC, I am not going to
risk operating the Windows XP PC without regular HDD backup for so long.
So, I need to source a replacement tape drive for the Windows XP PC,
before I can continue with acquisition of the new Linux PC.
A soon as I have a replacement tape drive operating on the Windows XP
PC, I will resume the Linux PC acquisition project, and complete the
revisions to
the specification of components, per advice from GTALUG members.
Regards,
Steve
