I repy to myself... i've to make a note about RDX: they are seen by the
SCSI subsystem as disks (/dev/sdX) and not tapes (/dev/stX): they are
more or less similar to a Zip or Jazz cartdrige then tapes...

I supposed that the SCSI subsystem ''passthrough'' worked ''generally''
and not only for tapes, but probably it is not the case.
Eg, a disk have their UUID, while a tape device not: so if i change the
RDX cartdrige probably device names change.

Also make me thinking about 'iSCSI' method: probably it is too not
feasable to use iSCSI for removable disks.


Probably it is better to move to some networked backup system as
bacula... but i seek some hint.

Thanks.
