Advice requested: tape system

Hi I've been using Retrospect very successfully for some while now, backing up our small Mac LAN to recordable CDs. However our company has grown some over time and the use of CD-R is no longer a real option as it takes too long to do a full backup of the 30GB or so of data on the LAN. I am theref

RE: Advice requested: tape system

The VXA promotion has indeed been extended through September, but is not available to our friends in the U.K.: limited to US and Canada only, since it's a direct-sales promotion through the web store, and we don't (yet!) sell in Europe. We're working on it. Egghead offers a great price right now

Hi! I've got a problem I hope you can address! As my subject suggests, I need to successfully execute a complete hard drive restoration from a CDR backup set made with Retrospect Express Backup 4.3 on my Rev. B iMac running OS 8.6. Since I have unstable directory file sectors on my hard drive,

Backing up Citrix MetaFrame server

We're looking into a Citrix MetaFrame Windows application server for our network. I'd prefer to avoid the DAT backups the bidders are recommending and use Retrospect. Anyone familiar with the MetaFrame application server and how well it would fit? Thanks! Dan Knight, IS manager/webmaster

VXA-1 has 65% greater capacity, lower drive cost, but higher media cost. Plus, of course there's that reliability thing. Ecrix boiled a tape, recovered the data; froze a tape; recovered the data. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Adam Cohen
