Hello all,
It is the first time trying to use a DAT (on SCSI a controller) tape drive on linux.
Unfortunatelly, the tape drive is not available.
Here are some info:

Please, can you provide any suggestions?
And in case this is fixed (don't know how right now), since it is my first time with DAT, is there any nice open source tool that is well known today to handle full/incremental backups and restores on DAT from the console (not GUI)?
I mean a tool providing the user a more friendly interface than tar to be use for restore by the operators and be able to work as a daily cron job, too.
TIA.
Regards,
G.
