Let amanda do it in the middle of the night Fons. I've been using it,
using virtual tapes on a terrabyte hard drive now, but with real tape since
about 1999. Real tape is a maintenance headache, if you have smartctl
watching the drives, they'll warn you well enough in advance that you can
replace the drive ahead of a total failure. Made use of that once since I
moved it to vtapes, about 7 years back. It works over the network, so my
milling machine and lathe control boxes are backed up nightly too.

Another one bites the dust... Should've run
Non on it instead.
Seriously though, it's a shame. Fortunately, there are still quite a
few motherboards out there with at least one PCI slot. I trust you
had everything backed up!
Almost... Lost two evenings of work on AP algorithms, but I
have some 30 pages of scribbled notes about that, and the
(Python) code itself wasn't that complicated, I'm rewriting
it right now. Still, should learn to backup every day.
Ciao,
