Tape Drive Support
« on: January 31, 2008, 04:42:05 am »
I have an internal tape drive I would like to use to backup my data.  How can I get it to work my eBox server?

eBox can't make his backups directly to a tape drive. However all backups archives are available in a share accessible to users with administration rights; you can take the file and manually copy to your tape or to another medium
