It is detected on the scsi bus on the startup. I wasn't using it much because the tar command would take forever to backup about 2Gb of data, and after about 6-7hours would give some error message. What is the best way to backup the server to this type of tape? TIA. Val. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
