SCSI tape drive

Hi all,

Is anyone using a SCSI tape drive from within VirtualBox loaded with XP?

The base os on my PC is Vista which does not support backup to tape so I was going to try XP inside VirtualBox.

Regards
Dave

As far as I've tried scsi passthru doesn't work, on the Guest its emulated, there are streaming devices (software, ea. firestreamer) which might work via usb.

Hmm, that's a shame. Oh well, thanks for the response.

Cheers
