CAn anyone out there suggest good cheap tape drives. We are interested in "smaller" format tape to back up several Mac hard drives. I've tried the 80meg Sony QD-2000 tapes, but I don't remember the name of the tape drive. While I'm at it, what good software is available that could be used for routine backing up purposes. I'm thinking of things that allow you to, for instance, only back files that have been changed since the last backup. Thanks, Harvey kimsey@cmgm.stanford.edu

The tapes look like standard audio caseetes, but cost a shitload more ;-), but the system works well, and the software (Retrospect) fdoes all you ask and more. jas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey A.
