I have a DS20 running tru64 v5.1, I have a seagate scorpion 240
6 tape dat autoloader.
Question - how do I talk to the tape ?
It seems to want to mount to /dev/changer/mc? as opposed to
/dev/nrmt?h with a single drive on tru64 v4. Can I use it
with dump or will I need to go down the route of some backup
software ? If so which freebie do you recommend ?
Any help gratefully accepted !

---------------------------------------------------------------
I'm thinking about buying an autoloader to do nightly
backups for a colocation machine. The OS is Linux,
and the average bacckup size is around 4 Gigs. I've
currently got a DDS-2 drive there. and tape changes
are done weekly (in theory). Has anyone had good or
bad experiences with any particular model which I
should look at or avoid? And also what is a good
package to manage an autoloader on Linux? And does
anyone know the commands to change tapes? for example
if I've got tape 3 in the drive, how would I change to
tape 5?
TIA for any advice on HW models and SW packages.
