I use a HP-DAT for a daily backup. >If it supports these devices, Which device drivers can I use and How to >config the system configuration file? You need the SCSI tape devices ( st0 ) at your kernel config file and the /dev/rst* devices. Build the new kernel and reboot. Perhaps you need to run /dev/MAKEDEV. Now you can use tar, dump .... with the /dev/rstx devices Hope it helps! Dirk
