Hi All
Don't want to be too contentious but Tape is NOT a good medium for archiving
see note below for reason why
CD is much better
Also has the benefit that all Macs (OK OK Unless v old!) & most peecees have
CD so v easy for users to get archived data back
ie: no dat drive (etc) no multi copies of retrospect (& training etc)
Just a thought. Over to you
