Hello, I have recently acquired an Apple Macintosh IIcx with A/UX, Apple's version of UNIX for their systems. My next purchase will be some sort of backup system (I am currently borrowing an Apple 40meg tape system from a co-worker). I'm interested in any hints or suggestions about what I should get. In particular, do any third party tape systems work with A/UX (that is, can they be accessed as standard UNIX /dev devices from within A/UX)? Is anyone using one of the many removable disk units currently available for backup? If so, how well does it work? How do you like it? What advantages/disadvantages does it give over a tape system? and, finally, does anyone have any other suggestions about systems for doing disk backups? Please send any responses to me directly. I will post a summary to the net if interest warrents.
