I've heard the Linux ftape sucks and makes backups really hard to do. Can you mount tapes and just use it virtually as a normal drive? Thanks, Email would be appreciated, Sherman -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sherman Mui | moooster@thetech.com | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The | world's | smui@kn.pacbell.com | a | blender | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | and | I | get | to | push | the | buttons. | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
