I asked this on another suse list some time ago... didn't like the response. ;) What are most of you folks running to stream to tape? I'm looking to replace Retrospect on mac...I've got 5.0 now and testing retro 7 on XP. I am trying to mirror our main file server on OSX to our SuSE box, so maybe we can just keep the linux box going as the main file server... I'm not sure about the new 10.4, but mac support for scsi cards hasn't been great as of late. All my cards that ran on OS9 don't run with OSX. And now reading the latest gripes with the 2.6 Linux kernel doesn't give me the "warm and fuzzies". Anything good (software) on the Linux side? (yea, I've looked at the 9.0 and 9.2 CD's but nothing jumped out as great) *What are you guys running that works, and has a good restore history? ________________________________________ I know I can "upgrade" my retro to version 6 (mac) for $200, or version 7 (winblows) for $50 (yea, you read that right) but I'm not sure I want another winblows box just to stream to backup. Retrospect hasn't been too great in the past. Kinda like Quark. [yes, we also backup to disk - a internal ftp box, and a few external drives...but you ever drop a external drive v.s. dropping a tape? I would rather drop a tape.] -- Thanks, George ``Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!'', ``The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,'' 1948.

Thanks, George
I'm using Arkeia Network Backup and I haven't had any showstopper problems. John
