    Backup/Controller Suggestions

    I fixed an Ultrium 460 and I want to use it to back stuff up. Windows backup is inadequate. I tried Uranium backup but the free version doesn't do tape.

    There has to be some free tape software out there. Windows backup is too crashy and loses tape indexes. When it does you are fubar in terms of reading the tape.


    Also... I found out the deal with the 4si controller. Its a HP-UX controller and its very similar to PERC 2/Si and HP Netraid 3si but its hanging by a tread and waaaay too large. Can anyone suggest a PCI (or compatible PCI-X,) SCSI controller that is cheap and at least U160? By cheap I mean <$20-30 on ebay.

    The "Dell/Adaptec" ones you see advertised are generally plain ole Adaptec with a Dell PN sticker.
    Very often they go cheaper than if advertised as just Adaptec.
    Same applies to some other Dell/xxxx parts. - Same as xxxx but cheaper.

      I just got an adaptec one for $15 shipped. It had 64 bit drivers, I think that was the decider.

      Is the big connector for expansion or is it older scsi. I have another tape drive with a connector that size.

            There are a lot of different adaptec cards and you haven't said which one.
            - So, Yes it's for expansion and it -might- be for older SCSI.
            Just look up the card at adaptec.

              Possibly a connector for external 68 pin cables

              AFAIK the only wide SCSI card that offered a connector for external 50 pin cables was the Diamond Fireport 40
