SCSI is better. But I can't put a SCSI card in this machine. Who has an IDE tape drive they want to brag about? :) I need model recommendations. I want an 8 gig uncompressed or bigger. Are some tapes more reliable than others? QIC, DAT, Travan, ? Is tar realistic? I have about 30 gigs to backup, but only about 200 megs changes most months. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
