Hi there! What backup software should I use for an AUX drive? I have been assigned this lovely job and am not sure if Retrospect can do it since I need and image backup. Any info or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Danny Lee danny@garnet.berkeley.edu 415.548.2173

From the MacOS side: Try ExpressTape 4.01 from Baseline Publishing (901-682-9676). It's the only backup program I know that will back up non-MacOS SCSI partitions, as well as being capable of doing a mirror image backup of the entire drive (including partition table, drivers, etc.) Does a pretty good job of MacOS backup (image or file-by-file). The only thing it won't do is a file-by-file backup of A/UX partitions. From the A/UX side: A/UX supports backup to the Apple Tape Drive, but this is painfully slow. A driver exists for the TEAC 155Mb streaming drive, and is sold by various drive vendors (I think MicroNet may sell it). -- Donn Fishbein ..!radar!donn
