Not quite true.  We received a new Apple tape drive a week ago, and it
arrived with version 1.1 of the tape backup utility.  We also have an
older tape drive, and have not received an update of the version 1.1
software received with it.

The utilities manual for system 6 says that it requires version 2 of the
tape backup utility to deal with partitions, but Apple Canada says that
version 2 has not been released yet, regardless of what the documentation
says.

Apple Canada did give us a beta-test version that works, solving the
problem for now.

Is Apple Canada behind Apple U.S. in releasing this, or is it just not
publically available yet?
