[nflug] backups on an nfs server ..on and on

[eric]

I'm going to have to find an external scsi tape drive that is comaptible
with linux, the one that I was using with what used to be a win2000
server seems to be only semi compatible with linux it is an external
scsi Dell PowerVault 110t

I am able to rewind the tape but cannot write to it, I think Cyber was
having the same kind of problem with an LTO??
