- A) 250M .vs. 150M
- B) Yes. A DC6250 Will give you about 100M. I have a 60M QIC-24 tape ape
- attached to my Sun3, and I can back up a 95M (full) partition using the
- following dump params:
-
- dump 0cusdtf 1010 1000 9 /dev/rst8 /dev/sd1g
-
- Hope this helps. BTW, I *always* use DC6150's instead of DC600A's.
- Better tape quality, in my book.
