Now that my department has 4 PC's, each with a 10MB hard disk, it's time
to think about backing them up.

My ideal situation is to find a tape (cassette or otherwise) system
that can plug into a serial port or parallel port and, with appropiate
software, back up the hard disk.  This way, one backup system can
backup all our PC's (it's a waste to buy four backup's...).

If you know how to do the above, please let me know.

(Another idea would be software that can communicate with UNIX(tm)
and upload files.  In this case, the software should automatically
search all my directories and backup on UNIX only those files that have been
changed since the last backup.  Xmodem protocal would be needed to
insure proper transmission.)
