I currently run a duel boot Linux/Win98 machine. I would like to upgrade to
SCSI and am looking for hardware to support a single hot swappable drive as
well as the main drive. Can someone tell me if this is possible?
I want to have it so that I can do a complete HD backup from one harddrive
to another. I would be doing this from Linux on a nightly basis.
Therefore, I would plug in the extra drive at night so that the backup would
be done by morning and I would then unplug the drive.
Would I need any specific hardware to do this? Does the card itself have to
support hot swapping or will any card work? Does the harddrive have to
support hot swapping? I've seen hot swap UW SCSI drive bays for sale but
will any UW SCSI harddrive work in them? Will I need to do this through
Win98 instead of Linux?
If anyone has any experience in doing this please respond.
Thanks,
- Eric
