I hope this is in the right group...

I need any advice or recommendations for a tape drive
under these configurations:

     386-33, AMI (4/9/91)
     102M IDE + 2 floppies (control card is full)
     Two 16-bit ports are free (for now)
     Software that will offer all or most of these options (something
     similar to 'tar'):
	  - backup of an entire disk;
	  - backup of specific directories (incl. incremental, where
	    files are added to an existing archive if not already
	    there or have been modified since the last incremental,
	    and files may or may not be removed from the archive
	    if no longer in the specified directory);
	  - archiving lists of files, appending a list of files to
	    an existing archive, extracting a list of files from
	    an archive.

Oh, this is needed for a DOS system, but something that will also
work under Unix derivatives is a plus.

Thanks for your time,

- Chris
