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!

Cheers! - Geo.
