Date: 26 Oct 1996 13:29:51 GMT Organization: Rechenzentrum Uni Mannheim Lines: 16 Message-ID: <54t3of$bqd@trumpet.uni-mannheim.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: rumpelkammer.uni-mannheim.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I'm currently looking for an efficient way to do an automatic daily backup. Weekly backups go to a DAT streamer, but this is not a practical solution for 100-200K per day. A local dealer suggested to use an SCSI zip drive for the daily backup. What do you think about this method? Are there any known problems with zip drives under FreeBSD (2.1R)? Is the technology reliable? Thanks in advance! Bye, nmh. -- /* Nils M.
