My organization has a dozen Macs (some pluses and SEs) and I've been
given the task of figuring out the best way to do backups for them. We
have a bunch of 20mbyte hard disks (mostly Apple SCSI disks but one or 
two Apple serial disks too). We are also getting some Dataframe 30 disks
soon. We have an Appletalk network and I thought it might be interesting,
efficient, and maybe even _doable_ to do network backups to tape. Does anyone
have any experience with network backup schemes? Any suggestions on
which products are good or not good? Do I want to consider Bernoulli boxes
as well as tape cartridge systems? Anything else I should think about?

Any help would be greatly appreciated; If I blow this then I get to spend the
rest of my existence doing backups onto floppies using the drag-copy-remember
algorithm :)
