Hallo,
I would like to hear whether there is somebody using the Iomega-ditto 2Gb
tape drive for reliable backups.
I have tried out tbackup, but the documentation says it is not supposed to
handle a lot of files - 30 000 if I remember correctly and it became very
slow. Also, I could not restore some files using it.
I could not get tob to use the tape correctly and I could never restore
files backed up with tob.
At the moment I am using dump and restore. It is working but not very
well. The restore process can go on for a very long time even if you want
to restore only one file or one directory and it has happened that I could
not restore a file seemingly because of errors on the tape.
Are reliable backups possible?
Johann
