Before you can add a tape drive you should first ensure that the correct SCSI driver is loaded for the card the tape drive is connected to. Once the SCSI driver is loaded you should perform the following Click the Add button and select your tape drive from the list or click the Have Disk button and select the location for the driver.

I need to find an OS that will fit on very few floppies (preferably 1 or 2) that will allow me to boot a PC & backup it up using my external parallel port tape drive. BRU backup software fits on 1 floppies and can backup to any device that the OS will support. Thank you in advance, Rich A soon to be Linux user, just got to save some things first! Ok, first thing you need to check are that the NE drivers in each machine are installed.

BytePile.com offers both single and mutiple tape drives as per the customer's requirements. We also provide single tape solutions as well as Mutli Tape Library Systems for those that have large data archives..

Devdepend2 = F$GETDVI("$n$MKcxxx:","DEVDEPEND2") $ Comp_sup = %X00200000 $ Comp_ena = %X00400000 $ IF (Devdepend2.AND.Comp_sup).EQ.Comp_sup THEN - WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "Compression supported" $ IF (Devdepend2.AND.Comp_ena).EQ.Comp_ena THEN - WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "Compression enabled"

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.

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.

No, features cannot be added to the program. If desire features that the program does not have, please email us your feature request and we will consider it for a future release.

We are very cognizant that pain control is very important for the patient's well being. Medications are provided to control the level of pain. The typical patient, however, requires only Tylenol and occasional Tylenol with Codeine for control of pain.

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.

Why haven't we changed the defaults in rdump and rrestore to something that makes sense? I was trying to dump a filesystem to a remote tape and ran into an error complaining about being unable to execute /etc/rmt.

NDMP has a TAPE interface that allows an NDMP client to position tape and read/write tape labels, etc.

Yes, in most cases. IQSS uses known backup software that supports most Tape drive and libraries. If you already selected or have backup software, we'll check for you the compatibility of your existing Tape and the backup software. Our D2D systems comes with standard SCSI LVD/SE, 68-pin. Other interfaces also available (Fibre-channel, FireWire, USB).

Many computers come equipped with a CD or DVD drive, which can be used to make backup copies of your data. These are manual processes and as such involve time and effort; and as a consequence it may often be neglected! a) Someone has to remember to carry out the backup, check that it did so successfully and then store the media safely off-site.

Not easily. The MDFS used a bizarre species of tape drive that pretended to be a direct-access device. It's almost certainly easier to find some other way to back up your files. Some people have had luck connecting other devices in place of the tape; Design IT are apparently the people to talk to about this.

No, never use a DLT cleaning tape in a SDLT drive; DLT cleaning tapes are incompatible with SDLT heads. You can purchase a cleaning tape through Breece Hill. back to top:

Play with the 'mt' command (package mt-st). Use its setblksize and defblksize switches to reconfigure your tape drive if necessary. Some tape drives just are painful. If yours is one of them then God help you. Mondo can handle any tape drive whose drive and firmware can handle fopen(), fwrite(), fread() and fclose(). Mondo uses standard C libraries to talk to your tape streamer. If your tape streamer can't handle that then you had better call a priest. Either that or ask for a refund.
