I simply hooked up a Travan NS20 drive to my Yellowdog. Works fine.
you can use any number of backup packages (I wrote a q/d one using
tar), including dump/restore (on YDL), or check our freshmeat.net for
other options.
works fine. I have two filesystems on my disk, root and home. I use
dump to archive / to /home every night, then back up home to tape.
If I ever had a hard death, I'll rebuild from the YDL CD's, then
recover files off the tape. I don't use tape to recover from failure
any more, I'd rather start fresh...
