[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Archiving data unattended

lipa@NEON.STANFORD.EDU ("William J. Lipa") (02/12/91)

I am working on a project where we need to backup a megabyte or so per hour
to a removable medium. Additionally, the backup software must be able to work
in the background, and it needs to run automatically, since there
won't be a person there to control it. The system must be able to come
back up unattended from a power failure. 250Mb would be about the
minimum capacity.

Tape drives and WORM/CDs are certainly possibilities. I'm more
concerned about the software side of things. Creating our own software
is OK so long as the driver is reasonable and documented.

Any great ideas out there? I will of course summarize to the net.
