Re: Parallel Port backup
hi
PARIDE sucks !
i have used paride via kernel 2.0.35 (does not exist at 2.0.34) to burn
cds using hp 7100e rewritable cdrom.
at x2 speed, the kernel crashed.
at x1 speed it works, but the system is dead for half a second every
second, which makes it terrible to work with.
i did not checked what happens if i yank the cabe in the middle of the
read/write operation of the cdrom, will the kernel crash ?.
about dds2 tapes:
i've used dds2 tapes over scsi (attached to a sparc, but may be attached
to linux-i386). to backup i either used dump (ufsdump on solaris) for
unix filesystems, or tar for other filesystems. never had any problem
restoring lost data.
regards
Erez.
