Topic: Quantum DLT-S4

[greg]

Hi All,

I have tried to find from this page and centos.org, but am still unsure.
Have anyone an idea whether Quantum DLT-S4 ( http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/DLTS4/Index.aspx ) will run and be usable under SMEServer?

As far as I can see from the Quantum homepage, they only promise support for the Kernel 2.4.7-10. I guess that this is not directly extendable to the present kernel in SMEServer?

If it works, what would then be the optimal way of doing backup?

TIA

/Greg

Any SCSI tape drive should work with SMEServer (but you'll need a compatible SCSI host adapter).  But nobody has tested all tape drives with SMEServer, so it'll be up to you to verify compatibility.

Your best resource for linux tape compatibility news is http://www.linuxtapecert.org/.

Charlie, thanks for this!

If I buy it - I'll pass the info to this place...
