OK, first off it should be noted that I had a typo in my original e-mail. In the last
sentance, I wanted the "driver" locations, not the "drive" locations.
But now, on to my next question. I went ahead, downed the server and shoved in the
drive. Kudzu said it had new hardware, took the drive, then ran away and the machine
booted normally. Because you said it should use the "same basic driver", what command
do I issue to do a backup? I am totally new to the "backing up to tape" concept
(previously, I just rsynced the whole thing to another box on the network).
Oh, and yes, the thing is SCSI.
Thanks again for the help!

If its a scsi tape drive, you can probably manage the trick. I have a Seagate TapeStor
8GB running nicely here via simple tar commands issued by cron. Most scsi drives work
with the same basic driver, if I recall correctly. I'd say install it and give it a
few simple test runs. Good luck.

If it is a SCSI drive, you should have no problems using it. If it is an IDE drive, it
should still work, but avoid putting it in the same cable as your hard drive.

Is it possible to use a Seagate Traven tape drive on linux? I looked at the Seagate
web site and found nothing.
This is the only tape drive we have laying around and I would really like to make use
of it. Any help, including drive locations (if available) are appreciated.
