Depends on your capacity requirement. I personally use Jaz Disks for backup. Most of the time I recommend tape drives based on the travan TR-4 technology. Much more inexpensive than DAT and come in SCSI and IDE Flavors. Made by Seagate, HP (Colorado), Eagle and others...... Sean

The January 6, 1998 issue of PC Magizine has a short article on Tape Backup Drives in their First Looks section. Their Editor's choice selection is a HP Colorado 5GB for backup. I suggest you read this article for more information.

On tape backup, I've been using a Seagate TR-4 system for several months and it is fast enough for my 2 GB at 30 to 60 MB/min, works across my ethernet to do a second computer in the same session, has wonderful software from Arcada, my favorite backup software, uses my old 2120 tape carts for incremental daily backups. Zero problems with it from the beginning. I expect you can find the hardware, software and a tape as I did for under $300. Sometimes, I even use the computers during backups without problems. Liam
