[comp.sys.dec] Any experiences with a WangDAT tape backup?

jmn@power.berkeley.edu (J. Mark Noworolski) (01/31/91)

The subject line says it all.

We're thinking about purchasing the WandDAT 2600 tape drive, but a little
concerned that it won't work on our 3100's (under ultrix 4.1).

Has anybody got any experiences to share?

ps: From what I can gather the 2.6Gig stored is a little bogus, since the
storing algorithm uses compression. What if I try to store an already
compressed file? Then it seems that I will only get 1.3Gig on it (or am
I misunderstanding the device?).
