Yes, and it also happens to be an older DDS-1 wang (model 3200).
Being a fan of full backups, I usually just run tar archives of /
(less proc & kern). No problems. In terms of reliability: I just
recently changed the drive I'm using for NetBSD. I used the wang to
pack everything up and then restore it after the upgrade. Again, not
a problems.
So that's probably a good sign :-)
