I'm putting a new backup tape called the IOMEGA REV (35Gb/90Gb) $375 on a 
linux box , upgrading from a seagate tranvan 10/20gb, I finally make it 
being recognized by the linux box and the edgebackup, Do you know what 
settings should I put on the device ?

?

Volume should be 30000000 or 90000000 with compression ?

Hey by the way this REV drive rocks! it uses the micro hard drives that 
look like a tape, but it's fast fast fast!!!.

I highly recommended to backup all filepro stuff!!!.
