Hello FreeBSD'ers, I have searched the archives for this particular tape drive (seagate Hornet NS 8) but didn't find anything but people complaining that "Travan tape drives suck--go with DAT" and those kinds of threads. Does anybody on this list have anything good to say about this model or Travan tapes in general? I *need* to have a tape backup of my home system (been burned on disks going bye-bye 1-too-many times) but simply cannot afford an Exabyte or "cheap" DAT tape drive :( ... these Hornet models look good on paper--have people used them with success? A friend of mine that runs Linux has a Travan 3 and says he's had no problems with it (i.e. when he *needed* to restore from tape there were no unexpected errors). I've no direct experience with these tape drives, so I'm hoping that somebody who is using this model (or the "plain" Hornet) could give a thumbs up or down.... Is there anything else coming up on the horizon (like maybe DVD-RAM??--I don't mean to start a holy war about DVD, just curious) that would be "better" than the Travan 4 style tape drives for "about" the same price?
