Will Backup Professional support my Onstream tape drive?

This tape drive will run under Windows NT and will require special drivers. In addition, there is a version that runs under Linux. Even though the tape is said to be SCSI, to the best of our knowledge it is not a fully compliant SCSI 2 compatible tape drive. It requires special drivers to handle rewriting data and the like. Therefore, this tape drive can only be supported in low level mode. In low level mode we do not support advanced tape positioning or a fast seek restore. This tape drive will require a call to our technical support staff to set up some special tape command adjustments in your master initialization file.
