791.0. "rwz53 drive support on WNT 4.0" by XFMV01::AJITK () Mon Feb 24 1997 01:52

Hi 

I just went thru the Sales Update for RWZ53 (2.3/2.6 GB optical 
drive) and the optical libraries using this drive. It mentions 
Windows-NT 4.0 as one of the supporting  OS.

Can NTBACKUP use the RWZ53 drive ?

Also what is the plan for supporting the optical libraries on
windows-NT ? 

Thanks in advance.

Ajit Kale

	NT Backup cannot use a disk as the backup destination. You might check with some of the NT backup SW vendors to see if they can do this. Native NT backup will not. (Seagate, Cheyenne, palindrome, etc...) Dir/tit=prod to find the product manager for futures questions, please. Chris

	You use it as a disk. That's what it is, and it works fine that way. Chris
