This post is toeing the line of "offtopic", but I've got no one else to ask so here goes:
I just purchased a CDRW drive for my G4 mac for backing up its hard drives. I figured I could use it to back up my other Mac's drives as well. My question is do I have to dump my hard drives from the other machines onto the G4's hard drive before I burn a copy of them, or can Toast (5.0, I think?) read them over my 10baseT network. If it can (which I'm thinking it can't) do this, would it be faster/better not to? Back to "ontopic": Awhile ago I asked if anyone knew anything about a tape backup drive I aquired (40SC) and got referred to Gamba's site for info. The info it gave me (which was great,BTW) provided a lot of useful information. The key piece I was looking for was missing. It didn't state what type of cassette it used. So, if anyone knows what tape it uses, can you please drop me a line? I know it's impractical to use this device when I have a 100M Zip drive hooked up to my machine and a 250M acessable through my home network, as well as this CDRW drive, but I'd still like to see if this machine at least works. (WOW! That sentance was longer than a lot of posts here :) ) Better yet, if someone knows where I may find one or two of these tapes, they would speed up the process of my realizing this drive is pretty worthless.
