Hi Chris: Contrary to some responses, I purchased an Iomega Ditto Tape Drive backup system a year or so ago and I love it. Yes, it is kind of slow, but it has been totally reliable as far as I know. I like the "Backup Manager" feature which reminds me that a backup is due. I can't speak for any other back-up systems because this is the only thing I've tried (other than the ole "hundreds of floppies" deal. This system works for me; but your needs may be different than mine. Good luck. Della
