Twelve years of tape disasters on mainframe, mini and PC systems have driven
me to look for other options.  (1)  Is anyone using a Bernoulli box as
a backup device?  What I had in mind was attaching one to a workstation,
then LARCHIVing to the Bernoulli as you would to a very, very large number of
floppies).  I do a partial backup (50-60 Mb) daily and have no
problem swapping Bernoulli cartridges as needed.  (2)  Does anyone
have experiences (good/bad) with Bernoulli technology or Iomega in general?
I assume this is a more reliable medium than tape though quite expensive.
Flame (offline) if you wish to nncars@tucc.bitnet or nncars@tucc.tucc.edu.
