Backup Device Comaprison

2000-03-23 Thread Len Levin
I am looking for a web site or other source of information that has a comparison of the various backup devices, their pros & cons, costs, etc. There is some helpful information on the Dantz website, but I was looking for more device specific information. Thanks. Regards, Len Levin Business

USB Drives?
