    I am looking a harware backup solution for my home system. 
    
    What would you recommend. It doesn't have to be that fast, price is
    more of a consideration :^(
    
    What about the ditto dirves or the sony drives.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Steve

|     Check the Hardware Compatability list first -- I don't think the
    the new 2GB Ditto or Sony driver are there.   Most of the supported
    drivers are 4mm, which are expensive.   I bought an HP-Colorado
    T3000, which is supported an relatively cheap -- a T1000 is even
    cheaper (100) and also supported.

| Fast, reliable, convenient, inexpensive? Buy a ~3 GB hard disk that you only use for "backup". It will blow away any home-system tape solution. /Mark | |||||

| If you want a tape drive on Windows NT, I suggest you look at the HCL and SCSI interface drives only. Anything not on the HCL will not work without custom drivers. NOTE: the exact vendor and model number must be supported. Steve P. | |||||
