    Hello,

    I have a very general question about backing up to tape from a remote
    computer. The tape drive is unfamiliar territory for me, and I'm looking
    for recommendations for a sequence of steps to take.

    Both machines are running fbsd 4.*, the local machine is a recent 4.9 STABLE,
    and the tape drive is a Conner CTD800R-S. Will it be possible, or
    advisable, to use a utility to back up over the net directly to the
    tape, or should we be creating a local mirror and backing up this?

    I know that these are very basic questions, but I felt that posting here
    in isp might give me a more informed response. Recommendations about
    utilities or howtos to look into greatly appreciated, 

    --
thanks,
Sean
