	I saw an add today that claimed you could backup 100megs onto a
'standard' VCR tape, cost $129.  The hardware is made by Omnitronix.
Questions: How reliable of a backup it it?  I have a 200meg hard disk; will I
be able to two tapes during a single backup, or will I have to do two seperate
100meg backups?
