I'm using an HP SureStore T4 (Travan) SCSI and it works very well. I'm also using three HP DATs SCSI (DDS-1 and DDS-3 tapes) without problems. As for setup, if it's SCSI just connect the drive and boot FreeBSD... You should see the drive and the device (check with dmesg(8) or look in /var/log/messages if you miss it). You don't need any configuration. Plug and play... :-) As for running, I'm using tar(1) and dump(8)/restore(8). I'd like to try Amanda from the ports, but I never find the time. Look at the ports for other applications. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
