Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] DL and Motion

[jazz <jaz...@gm...>]

I have looked at bacula a few months ago,also on the website and they all  
talk about tape drives
Tapes are quite useless here in vietnam, as molds loves tapes(and  
floppies)and even cd's because of the high humidity
the only solution is a hdd (but not an usb hdd as those regularly hang  
resulting in empty files( directory is updated with right filesize, but  
inside the file is only crap))
the 4 sata on my mb are in use for the raid 1, (2 spare now but soon have  
to add 2 more hd) and ide drives are not available in shops anymore
its a real dilemma to get the fileserver backed up.I have no real solution  
now.

best regards
gudy
