Hi Bob,
There are two tape backup systems I know of (one I'm using). 
First there is 'TArc' which is actually unreleased software used with an 
Archive SCSI Viper Tape Drive (60 or 150 Mb). This is what I'm using
because it was developed at a company called Comspec in Toronto, Ontario 
and I have their hard drive controller (it's the only one TArc
supports).
Second is the new GVP tape backup system using their hard drive
controller/software and a Wangtek 150 Mb SCSI Tape Drive.
GVP's advantage is that it will do both image and file-by-file backup
whereas TArc will only do image type backups.
If you come across anything in the way of 'generic' tape control code
let me know as I have yet another tape system that does not work
properly with TArc.
Ciao
Terry
