Several of my co-workers use the company SCSI DAT to back up their
machines once a week (they buy their own tapes, so what the hell) and the
OS/2 users just use GTAR. Lacks in snazz value, but it's free.
And in the case of GTAR, it is independent of tape model. You can find
the program on Hobbes under the unix subdirectory. Hell, look in the index.
FYI for other FTP hounds like myself: The CICA, Simtel and Hobbes CD ROMS
put out by Walnut Creek are available for $16 a piece, which to me was
worth it to save xfer time. http://www.raddev.com/biz/raddev has the info
- I'm not affiliated, just a happy customer.
