Frank,

If you are unhappy with the software that comes with the various TEAC 
drives you are evaluating, you might consider using Retrospect, the 
new backup and archiving application from Dantz Development, the makers of 
DiskFit.

Retrospect works quite well with the TEAC 150 drive.  It works 
independently from the manufacturer's software to do fast, reliable 
backup.  With Retrospect, you can choose the hardware that gives you 
the best price, warranty, etc, and gain more functionality than any 
manufacturer's software.  Retrospect preserves the original 
creation/modification dates, the folder hierarchy is preserved in both 
the archive and when you restore, and backup sets can be restored 
partially, or fully to any volume that has room for the files.  
Retrospect offers unattended backup, compression, extensive file 
selection, and scripting.

We found in our testing process that the TEAC 150 hardware is quite 
reliable.  The drive is both fast and reliable.

If you would like more information about Retrospect, send me your 
address and I would be glad to send you our spec sheet and other 
information.
