I need to do regular backups of a NeXTstation with a 400MB  disk,  and
floppies  are not the answer (DUMP requires over 162 1.44 floppy disks
just to do the first level 0 backup. I know I could reduce this amount
by using COMPRESS and 2.88 floppies, but still...) What I want to know
is what hardware are people using for their backups:  DATs,  removable
disks,  ODs??  All  relevant  info  would be appreciate: company name,
address, phone; product  price,  speed,  reliability;  your  comments,
suggestions, etc. Thanks in advance,
