I have a SCSI 4mm DAT tape drive that is to be shared between several systems
including VAX, Mac and PC (running Windows).  It works fine for the VAX and
Mac platforms.  I have discovered that of all the 'major' PC software
companies offering backup and utilities (like Norton/Symantic
Backup/Desktop/Utilities, FastBack Plus, PCTools, CP Backup...), all will
write to either floppy disk or QIC tape, but nothing for 4mm DAT or even any
kind of SCSI tape.  I found one vendor called Corel that has something of
interest, but surely they aren't the only vendor in this potentially large
market?

Does anybody know of other vendors offering backup solutions to 4mm DAT
drives?  I'm most interested in Windows software.  DOS is of interest as well.
