I've been playing with the dump/restore package and it's pretty cool. I
need to do offsite backups for someone's linux box, and up until now i was
doing a tar.gz of the system written to an ext2 fs on a CD. Obviously
this isn't the best method. Has anyone tried using dump to dump a fs to
CD instead of tape? Or if not, what type of tape drives are generally
accepted by linux? I have a DittoMax 7gb parallel but i'm sure those are
too proprietary to use with linux...?
thanks,
scott
