The June _COMPUTER_SHOPPER_ has a Sysgen Smarter-Image 60M tape backup
unit for $429. If anybody is using one of these units, could you
please tell me:
1. does the software allow multiple backups per tape (especially
incremental ones)?
2. does the software keep up with the tape's 5M/min throughput?
3. is the software menu- or commandline-driven (or both)?
I'd like to have commandline-driven software to allow automated
backups.
4. how easy/difficult are single-file restores?
5. does it backup/restore empty directories?
and
6. does the software run under DESQview?
Any other comments about this tape backup unit would also be appreciated.
advTHANKSance!
