With the price of Hard Drives as they are now, I would just get a nice big juicy 8-16gig HD to backup with. It would be a lot cheaper (faster and reliable) than getting a tape drive. Okay It would also be hard to transport but that seems okay in your situation. Right? _____________________________ Patrick Seal <patseal@hyperhost.net> Hyperhost hosting and Design http://www.hyperhost.net On Fri, 1 Jan 1999, Marc Andre Paquin wrote: > Hello!
