We called Fifth Generation about FastBack II, and this is what we found out: | Turns out it is a | tape drive with a 186MB cartridge plus the software to run it. You get | the whole deal for an educational discount price of $767.25. Their tech | support people said it will definately backup all the network info, but you | have to shut down the file server to do it. I can see a reason for shutting down the server, and we could probably live with it. But it would be better if we had a choice of "live" or "static" backup. We also have a number of syquest drives, and would like to backup to them. Finally, we need to be able to perform the backup from a workstation rather than the server (which has no monitor/keyboard/ mouse). Is there anything out there that will work? -- Jim Wright jwright@quonset.cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.
