I too have found tape backups unreliable, I have tried Irwin and
Mountain.  The Irwin tape became unreadable after about a dozen uses,
the Mountain could not verify a backup tape, tried three tapes.
A columnist in PC Week Diane Danelle (sp?) also complained about
backup tapes.  She says she uses floppy disk backup for important
stuff.  I use Fastback for my four networks to backup programs and
user files.  To backup the bindery and trustee rights I use Larchive.
I can usually run both at the same time on two workstations.
