Hi folks: I just got a great deal on a used backup tape drive. Its a Sony SDT-7000 Mechanism installed in an external SR-2000 case from APS. Along with the drive I also got 26 4gig Sony 120P DDS2 data tapes that have each been used once. I hooked up the drive and inserted a tape and got....nothing. Apparently I need a copy of the APS PowerTools control panel in order for the tape drive to be recognized by my Mac. APS wants $20 for there latest version of PowerTools but I don't need the whole thing I just need the CP! If anyone has a copy that they could mail me I would be most grateful! Now to my second question. Is there a good Free/Shareware backup solution for using this drive or should I spend the money and buy a copy of Retrospect from Dantz. (Which would cost more than I paid for the drive and tapes!) I will be using the drive to both archive and backup my home systems so I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible.
