I was wondering if anyone has see or heard of AI new videotape recorder based backup system for hard-drives? A siz hour tape will store some 640 megs at a rate of 40 megs per hour. Anything out there on it? Like price? Availibility? The ad for it is in A+/inCider (Jan edition) page 19. Thanks.

This is ancient stuff already . . . there's a backup system out there that my friends use at work on their network of Suns and HPs that stores up to two gigs (that's GIGs, not megs) on a standard 8mm videotape. Simple little box. Of course, if the one you're talking about is way-cheap then that's obviously a nice alternative for the consumer market. But it's not edge-tech.
