in addition I was wondering if, and how much Stacker affects the programs
that are running.  Does it slow it down,

Also, when you are storing to a tape backup, say a Colorado 250 Jumbo,
how is the data saved.  If I originally have a 160 meg drive, and
Stack it, will I be able to backup the "320 Megs" of the 160 
drive.


Thank you
