I also Use a WangTek (5525ES), hung off an Adaptec 1542B.  I use BackUpWiz as 
well. It comes with Wangtek drivers. The program is a bit clunky, but I will 
say this..it ALWAYS makes a 100% perfect backup (verified!). It has a few 
bugs, but only annoyance bugs..not really performance bugs. You can perform 
backups jsut fine while doing other things because it has a very low CPU 
usage. Of course, should file contents change, the verify will show an error.
I recomend it because I have tried two other commercial products and both have 
not been 100% reliable (and that is what backups are for, no? ), the BackUpWiz 
product has fully restored my harddrive several times, including all of OS/2. 
Oh..it also runs just fine under the Warp Beta II.
