Hi, I am looking for a tape drive backup unit for my Gateway 2000 386/33 
tower system with 150meg hard drive.  I know very little about what's
available, requirements, etc.  I would like to keep the price under $500.  
Do I need a drive with 150meg+ capacity, or a smaller capacity drive be 
sufficient (using multiple tapes I assume).  Do prices quoted in the
magazines (e.g., PC Week) include the backup software and controller?
Any recommendations, advice, pointers greatly appreciated!
