I'm using two software packages with my tape drive: DiskFit and Retrospect.
If backups are what you're looking for, I think you'll find DiskFit very
good -- it can see AppleShare volumes, and it's fast -- I'd guess about 1.5
Megs a minute (I have a 68030 machine, though I doubt that makes that much
difference.)  Retrospect is archiving software, and works just find with
tapes drives, too.

Both made by Dantz software (though DiskFit is marketed through SuperMac.)

                            Harriet, but I can't come in like Ozzie *and*
                            Harriet."
