With Retrospect the best at writing to different kinds of drives.  Whether 
they show up on the desktop or not.  If you want to write to Exobyte, DAT, 
or some other kind oe tape drives  (standard tapes or not) Retrospect 
has a boat load of devices that it will write to.

Remember this is my opinion...  Anyone that is interrested in backup software 
should try it out at your local dealer/egghead/etc to see if they like the 
way it works.  There is no standard way to do backups and each developer 
goes about it a different way.  Just remember if you can't figure out how 
it works, there is always another vender out there willing to take that 
money from your hot little hands...
