We use rdump to back up 30-40 RTs and Suns on our network using one Exabyte tape drive with the driver supported by Delta Microsystems. We get about 180 kilobytes per second over the network using dump/rdump. Sun does have a driver for the Exabyte tape unit, but it is not as fast as the Delta Microsystems one. > > -Steve > > >Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve >Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jacob M.
