I have a friend who just started working for a company. They are moving from a mini-system to networked IBM PC compatibles. They have recently purchased an optical drive (500M capacity/cartridge). The problem they are running into is that they want to be able to back up all their data files at the end of each day, and then do a weekly backup, but currently each daily backup is running from 100-500M. Optical cartridges are not in abundance. Using PKZIP cuts down the size of the backups, but they still are large enough to be a problem. I was wondering what backup options there are for the IBM PC family. Is there anything like Sterling Software's DMS (IBM 370 mainframes) that will do the job on an IBM PC? Any info is appreciated! NOTE: Please e-mail replies! I don't read this topic often. Thanx, Dave
