What is LONE-TAR capable of backing up to?
Can LONE-TAR restore from any of these devices?

We always recommend that for any backup device you plan to use with LONE-TAR, to test and make sure everything is functioning properly, and if it does not we can step in to make sure all settings are correct and make sure there are no hardware related problems to any backup devices not working with LONE-TAR. It is also good practice to make sure your backup device works with RESCUE-RANGER as well.
