[comp.periphs.scsi] Tape backup program

beekun@unssun.nevada.edu (R. I. Beekun) (05/03/90)

I have a 120 megabyte hard drive on my IBM PS/2 70-a21, and since I handle
large databases, I have an IBM tape backup system 6157-002. This tape
backup system uses 150 meg cartridges. The tape backup program that I use
is SYTOS from Sytron, and it is a royal pain. It is very inefficient 
because it is buggy and will not work if I try to append to a previous
backup.

Sytos was recommended to me by the IBM marketing rep (who is a very nice
person, but knows zip about software). Do you know of any good public or
commercial tape backup program that I could use instead of this idiotic
sytos program. Is there anything like fastback + for tape backup machines?

Please e-mail your suggestions to me.

Thanks a million.

P.S. Here's a computer joke to thank for your efforts:
