What kind of hardware do you have? I've arranged to purchase an Exabyte tape
drive, but it's only about a 2-gig drive, and, like the other gentleman, I
need something that'll do about 10 gigs+. The only DAT drives I've seen
which can do that, are over $500 for the drive alone! I would prefer
something relatively fast, so I dont have to spend all day and all night
just backing up one system!
Thanks...
John
