  Sorry if this belonged in Hardware, but I thought about it and chose
c.s.m.s.

  How reasonable is it to back up a hard disk over a LocalTalk network,
using PSN, TOPS, or, in our case, Apple FileShare (from System 7.0b1)?

  We wish to use a tape drive and Retrospect to do the backup, but I was
wondering whether LocalTalk produces completely unreasonably slow (>8 hours)
results for a 40 MB hard disk.
