What is the best system to use to back up my FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 machine? I
have an IDE hard drive & floppy drive, and no SCSI controller.
I would prefer not to spend reams of $$ on a tape backup, but am kind of
clueless about the issue. I thought a SCSI streamer would be good, but
they seem to be about $800-900. Can I get a cheap tape backup that won't
be murder to install?
Help!
