DAT Tapes

Hi,

Has anyone tried using the HP SureStore DAT drives with QNX?

Do these work OK?

Yes, it works pretty well!
(using it as a SCSI device with pax in a cron job)

One problem: when using it in a cron job and the tape reaches it’s
end, it is automatically rewinded and the next backup will overwrite
the tape from the beginning :frowning:

Thanks for the information.

Which SCSI card did you use?

Which HP SureStore DAT drive model did you use?

Yes, it works.
We use it as an external, portable backup unit, SCSI connected.
