Hi,


I am after a parallel port back-up solution for backing up 2 disks in
one machine, a 420MB and a 1.6GB. I would also like the back-up unit
to be portable so I can take some files to other machines and copy
certain files across (but in this case, not do a restore, just use the
back-up unit as portable storage device).

I had in mind a tape drive such as the IOMEGA 3200 parallel port tape
drive with a native capicity of 1.6 GB. Is this a good choice? What
experiences have people had with this? Also, I would like the option
of supporting both 240V (Australia) and 110V (USA). Does the power
supply with this unit support this?

I am not committed to tape. What other options would you recommend?

Thanks.
