Make sure you have the following settings in your kernel, judging by your output, I'm not sure that you do. options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wst0 #IDE Tape Drive Rebuild your kernel. After that, make sure that you have made the appropriate device using the MAKEDEV script found in /dev. After that, you can use tar, dump, (included in base distribution), or programs such as amanda (in the ports) to do your backups. Let me know if you need any other assistance. -- Damien Tougas Converging Technology Solutions, Inc.
