I am interested in backing up my hard drive onto mag tape. Since I already have
a VCR, and I do not have a regular cassett type tape drive, I would like to
use the VCR. Is there any commercially available hardware/software to do this.
I am buying a data translation 2851 frame grabber/image processor, so I figure
I could use this to read and write the data. But if this has been worked out 
before, I rather spend money than time....
