My first try was scdbackup.  The system backup worked just fine.  Then I tried to create a level 0 back up (to allow incremental back ups) using <code>sdvdbackup_sys -conf_dir \/root\/backup_system -level -create_configuration<\/code>.  This hung during <code>generating -content_list_adr<\/code>.  After running some tests creating a level 0 back up, it seems that scdbackup will fail collision detection if it is given an empty directory (such as \/opt) to back up and it hangs during creation of content_list_adr if told to back up \/dev.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been backing up my file systems to Travan TR-4 tape with a Seagate TapeStor SCSI unit for a few years now.
