I have 2 questions: 1. When the system boots it says: WangDAT model 1300 is a known rogue density code 0x13, drive empty. What does it mean "known rogue" is this good, bad or ugly? 2. Given that all is not totally hopeless in #1 above can someone point me to either a FreeBSD or port program that I can use to do backups to this device. Restores would also be nice<g>. I have read various references in man pages about dumps, tar etc. I was kind of looking for something a little more automated. Thanks, Jeff
