How to backup a Sun Ultra 60 workstation?
Hi,
I'm currently an CS intern working at a small biotech company that has just opened a new office. We are working on a new project, but we were given an older Sun workstation with just a SCSI interface in the back. We don't have a systems administrator, so a couple of us have been working hard to figure out where to start.
From what I can tell, the workstation has two 70-gig hard drives. About 120-gigs of it is mounted, but only about 6 gigs of it are in use. This, of course, will increase in the future.
Right now, we are looking into purchasing a Sun 40/80 DDS-4 Unipack Tape Drive from Sun. This is going to set the company back about $1600. This seems a little ridiculous, considering the workstation is only worth a couple hundred bucks. We've found several less costly tape drives, but they probably don't offer the support that Sun will. Is it worth paying for the support, or is there a more viable solution?
(Just in advance, there will be more questions on the actual backup procedure once we decide on one.
)

I just got moved to a new office building, and as I was unpacking my stuff I saw an odd tower PC in the nearby recycling heap. It turned out to be a Sun Ultra 10 Elite3D workstation, complete with keyboard, mouse, and monster-sized CRT with the wacky Sun video cable.
I just set everything up and... (4 Replies)
