Phil,
I`d like to refer you to the June 1988 issue of MacUser magazine.
The article `Back It Up` provides a good review of the existing
tape backup units -- go for it.
As far as my company, ILANET, we have been using the CMS TS-60.
The 60 MB tapes are quite sufficient for backing up our 160 MB of
disks, and the 50 minutes of backup time is phenomenal. I like the
digital cassette tapes used on the unit due to their compactness and
so far reliability (esspecially their speed). The unit cost us 750.00
but recently I`ve seen it advertised close to 700.00. The tapes cost
17-30 dollars and there are also 50MB tapes which can be used with them.
The backup program bundled with the drive is FAST and does the job fine.
However, I wish it were Multifinder compatible and have a better user
interface. All in all between 0-10 I'd rate it 8 --> I like the unit.
Good luck.. - Ilan Rabinowitz - with ILANET(tm)
