Summary: TK50 has been reliable for us



I agrtee  that there should be a much lower cost backup approach.  I
guess the assumption is that you have an Ethernet LAN with server
support somewhere.


I must say that the TK50 has been reliable for us for quite some time.

Early TK50's did have problems, mostly with defective cartridges
amnufactured by #M Corp for DEC.
