My tape drive has a compression function. What is it and should I use it?

NovaBACKUP - NovaBACK and NovaDISK Frequently Asked Question...
There are two types of compression that may be available during your backup: hardware and software. The hardware compression is enabled and disabled by either a DIPswitch or jumper on the tape drive. The software compression is enabled and disabled through the Options panel within NovaBACKUP. We recommend that you disable any software compression if you have hardware compression available. Hardware compression is far superior in speed and compression than the software counterpart.

Can I use a tape drive with my PERQ?

FAQ for PERQ Graphics Workstations
Yes. You'll need an appropriate streaming tape drive (an Archive QIC-2 drive that uses DC-300 tapes; further specs for the required drive will be included in a later FAQ.) and, unless you have a Multibus board, you'll need to get out the wire-wrapping supplies and wrap your own board, assuming that you have a PERQ wire-wrap board that fits in the card cage. If you don't have such a board, you can always tap into the wire-wrap connectors on the PERQ's motherboard/backplane.

How do I get my IDE/ATAPI tape drive working?

Linux FAQ
Ide ATAPI tape drives work with Linux using scsi-emulation -- forget about using the ide-tape module. Most kernels out of the box do not have scsi-emulation set up since it conflicts with other tape drive support. You have to configure and compile a kernel with a particular group of seemingly un-related things turned on and others turned off. It does work and work well *IF* you get it right. Thanks to a posting by Timothy Moore (timothymoore@bigfoot.

Why is there no tape drive on RED?

frequently asked questions
Tape drives compress the image, data is lost in the process as the camera needs to encode the data before it gets stored on the tape. In addition having to capture the tapes into the edit system has to be done in real time, so 6 hours of rushes would take 6 hours to digitize in. A tapeless system offers faster access to the footage as its already digitized plus the image is of higher quality because more data can be stored on the disk.

What should I know about compression?

TuneCore: FAQ
Music files primarily come in two varieties: "compressed" and "uncompressed." An uncompressed music file is the music stored as faithfully as the computer can hold it, just like the music on normal audio CDs. These are large files and hold every scrap of data the computer needs to reproduce the music as closely as it can to the original recording. These files are often named with .WAV or .AIFF extensions.

Is Partition Resizer compatible with drive compression software (like DoubleSpace or Stacker)?

zeleps.com
The program itself works fine with these, since it doesn't consider them as drives. Partition Resizer scans ONLY physical drives for partitions. But it shouldn't be run from a compressed drive that resides in a partition that will be resized or moved. If you're uncertain about that, just run Partition Resizer from a bootable floppy disk. Absolutely. Long filenames are not affected, since the program doesn't mess with directory and file descriptors.

Compression is a process where a file is made smaller by reducing the number of bits in the file. The higher the compression, the greater the loss of detail. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most common format. Compression increases the number of images that can be stored on a flash card.

Dirvish FAQ
Compression is a wonderful thing but one of dirvish's primary goals is transparency. If dirvish compressed files you couldn't do a transparent restore. Because of the file sharing between images compressing individual images into compressed archives is unlikely to save you space and will break the transparency. Experience has shown that the disk usage of dirvish is vastly less than that of compressed snapshots.

When can I drive?

Cardiovascular of Southern Nevada - FAQs
Generally speaking, we do not want anyone to drive until approximately 30 days after surgery, just to let you get over some of the soreness from surgery without depending on your reaction time while turning the steering wheel or having to brake. Sometimes people can start driving earlier, but we certainly do not want patients who are on narcotics or pain pills to drive. We suggest when you start to drive, you drive in an area that is very quiet so you can get your "driving legs" back.
