Hello, all. I have a small webserver/mail server running Gentoo. I need to |
| 2 |
find a backup solution that will work for this type of setup. Unfortunately, |
| 3 |
there is no working driver for a parallel floppy-protocol (backpack) tape |
| 4 |
drive for Linux 2.6. I've tried LOTS of things to get that drive working |
| 5 |
(it's an Iomega ditto QIC-80 parallel port floppy-protocol tape drive). I |
| 6 |
also bought a very low quality DVD+RW drive (MagicSpin non-MMC, non-Ricoh - |
| 7 |
no English drivers or instructions, even for windoze). It fails to do |
| 8 |
anything in Linux. Most of the time it tells me that there is no media |
| 9 |
inserted when there clearly is. Other times it gets 3 quarters of the way |
| 10 |
through the write and throws an I/O error. I need to be able to back up |
| 11 |
around 32-40MB nightly and around 1.2GB weekly. Speed doesn't matter. Any |
| 12 |
ideas? Thanks! |
