 Finally got my LTO-4 drive up and running. :toot:

Currently using Cygwin/tar to write to it, is there any decent Windows software that doesn't cost funbux available? I mean, after the price of the drive et al it's not the end of the world but I'd rather not drop $150+ on grade-A crap.

gently caress tapes. I understand their purpose, but holy gently caress does it lead to some convoluted backup schemes.

 Oh that's fair enough, then. I'll go back to petting my LTOs.
