Has anyone had experience with a tape backup device by Alpha Micro Systems call the VideoTrax (or something like it) ? It's a device which allows one to do backups to a VHS video recorder using all 7 (8?) tracks for redundant recording. 1) How well does it work? 2) Is there software provided besides a driver for backing up? 3) Can FastBack work with it ? 4) Is it directory structured (so you can restore individual files) ? 5) How fast is its backup capability ? 6) Has anyone experienced any problems with it ? 7) Last price I heard for the digital to video board was $595. Is this accurate ? Thanks. -- Robert N. Perry (Tex) Tektronix "Skydive for better health" C-18807 bobp%tekcae@tektronix.TEK.COM "When I works, I works hard. When I sits, I sits easy.
