I'm looking for a backup program that'll work with Apple's tape drive and will
run substantially better than the Apple-included program (i.e., faster, will
run under multifinder, etc.)

People have recommended DiskFit 1.4 for this job.  But I've now heard that
Dantz, the same people who developed DiskFit, are coming out with something
called Retrospect, which is another archiving utility.

Anyone know about it?  (particularly how it'll differ from DiskFit) 

Thanks....
