Can anyone recommend a large capacity tapeback that has bsdi drivers.
We are looking for a tapeback with at least a 20gigabyte uncompressed
capacity. The models I we have reviewed such as the HP 48gig use a
multiloader 5-tape system that requires specific drivers in order to
treat the 5-tapes as ONE unit. In other words they come with a 5 tape
autoloader but in order to treat the 5 tapes as ONE you have to
install a driver which HP does not provide for bsdi...........if
anyone can recommend another tape backup alternative that will not
bankrupt the avergage person we would appreciate it......
