I have not used the Bernoulli as Netware backup device but have had extensive
experience with it all the way back to the old 10 MB cartridges.   I have
always found the system to work very well and offer a rational alternative to
tapes and floppies when used a backup device.  Iomega has always been helpful
when problems arose (not very often)
