: I wouldn't go saying thatthe Colorado systems give 250 meg. They don't, : period. They DO have compression though. In my experience, they seem to : hold about 140-180 MB. The drives are also noisy, slow, and the tapes : get VERY hot in normal use. Also, they seem to go forward and backward : during a restore, I don't understand this. That's because they have multiple tracks so they only read one track at each pass and then goes backwards while reading/writing another track and so on.
