Hi, After some testing, I decided to use taper as my backup software.
With the compress method 2 of taper, it can only reach about 6-7 Mb/min (raw speed) and the tape drive has to stop to wait for data. I try to change some parameters of the taper (in defaults.h) and it does not seem to help at all. My Easybyte96 can sustain 10Mb/min with its acceleration card and taper can read the tape at almost 10Mb/min (raw). Does anyone know methods to improve the performance? I am using potato: taper6.9ra and zftape4.03pre2. -- Min Xu City College of NY, CUNY Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (O) (212) 650-6865 (O) (212) 650-5046 (H) (212) 690-2119
