Also, how about write speed, backup support (e.g., > can I do single file backups/recoveries, can I backup just a single > folder, etc). How about the 9-track tape units? Big pluses here. > Very large capacity, compatibability with larger systems (e.g., DEC, > UNIX systems, etc.). Cost is also a factor. The CMS 45Mb removable Hard disk is a gem. Thats right, 45Mb in a 5.25" hard shell cartridge. When you put it in the drive it is as fast as any other 28ms disk. I comes up right onto the desktop so you can use diskfit or HFS Backup 2.0. For AppleShare users, get Network diskfit so you can backup the server over the network to your machine. When Appleshare 2.0 arrives you'll be able to login as a SuperUser so's you can 'see' everything on the drive to back it up. To do this with version 1.1, the server has to be setup so the custodian has access privilages to everything that the user creates. Welcome to privilages city! AppleShare 2.0 will support print spooling to 5 printers even AppleTalk Imagewriters too. Enjoy!
