How do you all do bare metal backup and restores? Anyone ever get a tape drive recognized while booted in recovery mode? Did you notice the "st" device isn't installed when booted in recovery mode? "Modprobe st" and "mknod /dev/st c 9 0" don't seem to work in recovery mode. I've tried several "restoration" versions of Linux but none seem to work on my Dell 2650 system with Redhat. Tell me I don't have to install the OS to restore the OS. Can you restore / safely while booted on it?

Regards

Doug P

Hello Folks,

        I have just put in a scsi card with a Compaq 20/40GB DAT tape drive,
what would be the device id or device name for this tape drive ?


If it's a rewinding tape (likely), it should be /dev/st0.  If it's
non-rewinding (unlikely), it would be /dev/nst0.
