Has anybody had any experience (good or bad) >with Ingenuity Inc's VCR backup that they can report on? You probably haven't heard anything because it hasn't been released yet. I called Ingenuity a couple of weeks ago, and apparently the release date has been pushed back a couple of months more again. I had heard that their key programmer for this product left Ing. and formed Vitesse, Inc. I guess they have had trouble getting someone to fill his shoes. I just wish they would stop advertising as if it were available (and that mail order companies wouldn't list it until they had it. From what I've heard, it does a file backup, will handle all of GS/OS file types, and backs up 100 MB to a standard 2 hour tape.
