Hi there,
I have (literaly at 23:15 local time Sunday) just finished configuring a HP
Netserver E60 which has one of these devices installed. I used SuSE 7.2 and
it worked out of the box. It configures as /dev/ht0 and works perfectly. One
thing that is most important is that you use 32k block size. The script I
have written to back up via cron.daily contains the line as follows:
tar -cv -b 64 -f /dev/ht0 /public (where /public is the directory I am
backing up). The -b 64 sets up the block size.
If you are using a 2.2.x kernel it will have to be patched with the correct
drivers.
I am installing this beast in my clients office tomorrow morning @ 09:00
having removed NT 4 - gone and truly forgotten!!!!!!!
Hope this helps

I'm thinking about getting a tape drive for my system. Although I use a CD-R to backup my personal data it's not an ideal solution.
I've had a look at the OnStream 30GB tape drives and they look pretty good (alas I can't afford the SCSI version). Is anyone using an OnStream tape drive? Any comments, alternatives, or suggestions?
