I have an Exabyte which I move around to several UNIX machines
to perform backups, and I was wondering if it could be attached
to Mac systems as well. Does there exist any software which
can drive an Exabyte tape and perform backups?

I prefer Retrospect, as it will work with basically anything that you
can attach to the Mac. In addition, it is very intelligent and has an
awesome interface. It is so smart that it can make an archive span not
only across mutiple volumes, but also across multiple devices --
automatically. You probably won't need to span multiple anything using
an Exabyte, but it's nice to know that you can. In addition, Retrospect
Remote will be coming out soon. I saw it in a private screening & it's
performance left me speechless (so why am I talking so much...:-]).
I love Retrospect and I didn't write any of it!!!!
