i am getting back to work on my 170 lately and have been trying to
identify if there are any tape backup options, but it seems that i am
stuck in an unwinnable situation. my ASP is fairly large at around 30GB
and while i can currently get by on two or three 2GB QIC tapes, this
won't be a viable backup strategy for much longer.
i currently have options 2729 and 2749 installed in my system, and as
far as i can tell based on the system builder these are my best (maybe
only, it's been a while since i really read through it so i'm going
partially off memory) way to hang a SCSI tape drive off the PCI bus and
have OS400 recognize it. problem is, it seems that all of the tape
drives that are officially supported by these cards are either very
large, very expensive, very broken, or some combination of those three.
i have a few regular SCSI tape drives that i have tried and none are
recognized by the system, one from IBM and two not. it would be
wonderful if i could find a solution that is portable to more than just
this machine but at this point i'll settle for being able to put a full
system backup on a single tape :)
appreciate your guidance as always!
