This was discussed, although probably for a lower level, on the freebsd-stable mailing list recently. I believe that the more expensive Veritas tool was suggested, since it apparently has a native FreeBSD agent. I have used a number of changers; my favorite (of a small sample) is the Qualstar. If you don't want to spend much money some interesting changers appear on eBay, up to and including a StorageTek unit with a base capacity of 3 TB, maintenance-ready. I have an ADIC VLS DLT for my home system which cost $200, has a single DLT III XT - tapes are cheap. (I have no idea if the StorageTek unit can be controlled by FreeBSD; the ADIC unit is no problem. ADIC was very helpful to me, even though the unit was purchased used.) MLS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
