Travan 3 Parallel Tape Backup in FreeBSD 4.10

[Sebastian Uribe]

Bill,

    Well... external drives ain't that cheap in Argentina, and we 
already got this tape (which fits well with the amount of data we want 
to backup), so we would really like to have it working.. :)
    Thanks anyway for the advice.
