[net.micro.cpm] Backup on VCR

JFORREST@SIMTEL20.ARPA (Jim Forrest) (10/07/85)

A friend of mine would like to know if there is a RELATIVELY
"easy and inexpensive" way to back up the hard disk on his Kaypro
10 to his VCR.
Appreciate response from anyone with expertise in this area.

At one time, Corvus offered an option for their hard disk systems called
the 'Mirror', which allowed backing up hard disks to a VCR.  I don't
know whether it is still offered, what the cost is, or whether it is
available for a non-Corvus drive, but in principle it can be done.
Anyone else have more?
