[tech] DLT/Backups.

[Simon Fryer]

Evening

Have placed my DLT (TZ88) drive onto Morwong for the not too distant future. 
Suspect it will be there for a month or so at least. It is known as 
/dev/tape/tape1_d1 for most backup purposes. I will be taking an image of 
/home and /services some time in the next week or so. 

While physically using the drive is not difficult I have some documentation
to read on how to use it. If you would like to learn, drop me an email and I 
will sort out getting a copy of the manuals to you. 

As it will involve a reboot of morwong to take it off, I really don't 
recomend that anyone moves the drive from it's existing location. 

Relax, and don't get your back up! :)

See Ya
Simon
