1. Can a TR-3 tape be used in the new 5 gig Travan tape drive?
Hello.
Question: can a dump from a TR-3 travan tape be used to restore in a 5 gig
drive?
Here's my scenario. I have a groovy TR-3 (HP Colorado) tape drive I use
with Ftape 4.* to dump to. It works excellently and I recommend
dump/restore to anyone interested in making serious back-ups. I've
restored my machine several times.
I am getting another work machine and would like to restore files dumped to
the TR-3 tape onto the new work machine. I noticed that TR-3 tape drives
are hard to find, and that for example, the HP Colorado 5GB IDE/ATAPI drive
is reasonably priced, and available. Any other suggestions would be
appreciated.
Has anyone gone from TR-3 format to a 5GB drive successfully? Once
support for IDE/ATAPI tape modules are compiled into the kernel, do these
IDE/ATAPI drives work, or are they buggy. Kernel circa 2.2.5-15 (Red Hat
6.0)
Thanks,
Adam
