I've just had the scare of my life recovering a harddisk full of
information after a hard crash.  It has finally persuaded me to
do something which I have been planning to do for months...

_get myself a tape backup device_

Now, I've heard various horror stories about using certain devices/
applications with OS/2 WARP.  Ideally I want a tape drive that will
plug into a parallel port, and backup OS/2 or Windows systems
unattended.  Can anyone recommend something, before I lose the impetus
to do something about it ;)  Thanks for any feedback,
