Since I couldn't get the tape drive, I've looked at what it will
take to stage regular DVD backups. I have a DVD burner now and
enough extra disk space to do it. Now I just need to automate it.
The free DVD burning tools I've found have been pretty primitive
or just didn't work so I'm probably going to have to invest in a
commercial tool. FYI, the backups of the old machine took 4 DVDs
not counting the htdig database.
I also have an old 8mm tape robot, now, that I'm going to see if
I can use (need to install a SCSI controller). Tapes would be
more convenient for backups we don't want/need to keep around
for more than a week or so. It would also let me use dump(8)
for incrementals. I can kinda fake incrementals right now because
I have all the rsync output stored and could selectively backup
just those files (haven't done that yet, just installed the bigger
disk recently).
