Hello Y'all,

Is it possible to use a tapestreamer in DSL? (got an compaq SDT-9000 which is on a scsi-card, 12/24 Gb dds3 tapes).

What software/commands should i use?

Ps: i can't get this tapestreamer to work in Windows XP pro sp2 so i am curieus if dsl will give me the same result (or better?)

What kind of scsi card? - DSL may not support your card. Normally tape drive devices in linux are /dev/st0, /dev/st1 etc. and you can use the tar command for backup, e.g.:
tar -cvf/dev/st0 /home > tar.lis &

You can check the status of the drive with this command (mt may not be included with DSL, I don't have a DSL box nearby so I cannot check):
mt -f /dev/st0 status
