If you can talk to the drives using standard "mt" commands then you can talk to them using Bacula. I've seen no difference under Linux between any scsi(sas/fc/uw-scsi) tape device in the last 15 years (on the interface/command side of things). ATAPI, USB-scsi, and devices with proprietary interfaces may be more trouble. Parallel-port interface machinery is uncommon and never worked properly. BSD and SysV unixen should have no problems either as much of the codebase is common. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
