Someone asks about Exabytes on Macs. Tecmar does this. They also have unix software. My rep is checking with their tech people for details for me. I'm pretty sure other companies have Mac Exabyte systems. I use a Tecmar tape backup system that backs up 80 and 120 Meg. For our workstations and mainframe we have a couple Exabytes. I'd like to be able to use an Exabyte on a Mac, and use their software for backing up the unix systems. Their software is nice, it beats the dump script we use on the unix systems (of course! it's Mac!). The way I understand it, Exabyte sells a bare drive, and vendors modify it to suit themselves. Has anyone just hung an a random Exbyte off a random SCSI port (especially a Mac's) and had it work? For what it's worth, Tecmar has been really good about updating their software, and I like their drive well enough. It beats floppies!
