I am assisting the New York City chapter of the Audobon Society with the
configuration of their microcomputer. We will likely be purchasing an
AT&T 6300 with a 20 MEG hard disk.
Since many novices will be using the computer, it will be prudent to purchase
a system to back-up the hard disk. I am specifically interested in a
VCR/VHS based system, and I would like to know :
i) Who makes them?
ii) How long would it take to back-up 20 MEG?
iii) How reliable are they as opposed to other systems?
iv) $$$$
v) Good or bad experiences with them.
Thanks,
Brian Bertan
