Hello:

I don't know if this is the appropriate place for my question or
not, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about backup 
software for Windows.  What I need specifically is software to 
backup a 1.2 gigabyte drive on to 4mm DAT tapes.  It's essential
that the software be able to make use of the DAT's.  I've had some
DOS software recommended and I could go that route, but I would much
prefer to get a Windows product if such a beast exists.

Thanks!

Bill

Read the article in the current (premiere) edition of Window's User 
magazine. There is an article that covers this topic quite well. To sum 
it up, there aren't any really good windows packages available at the time 
the article was written. You need to read the article to find out about DAT 
compatibilty. Good luck!
