They're probably going to have a gigabyte or two before too long, so they'd like to invest in a tape drive that will do a better job of backing up. Any suggestions?

But I don't have an answer for you. Sorry! Msg 43538 is 16 line(s) on 05/04/90 from JIM POLOUS to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: NOVELL TAPE Ward, We use an ADIC LanBacker 8000 on our 2 server Novell Network. It is a medium size unit, it uses an 8 bit SCSI and I believe RS-422 interface. It allows for up to 10 3M tapes (40, 80 or 120 megs each). I believe the total storage using the maximum is about 2 gig. The software that comes with it is adaquate and it does support unattended backup and multiple servers. The drivers for Novell's NBACKUP are available on CompuServe's NetWire forum. It has been reliable for us, but it will not backup open files (with either it's own software or NBACKUP). It is a bit slow, however. I am told that many ADIC tape drives are. I'm not recommended that your friend get or not get it, because for us it serves us well. We do two backups per day. A full backup at midnight and an incremental during the day. And we can specify which tapes to use, so 1-4 can be for the midnight full backup and 5-6 can be for incremental. And 7-10 can be for our 4:00 AM backup on our 2nd file server. As for how slow, it took 129 minutes to back up about 280 meg of data.

Use your home computer to program. FREE details, just call (305) 981-8480. Find a clear channel and get on TV ! Msg 43541 is 27 line(s) on 05/05/90 from MARTY DIPPEL to TONY ANTONUCCI re: THANKS! Thanks for the trouble you went to, Tony! It's working just fine. I'm not sure if it's my imagination or not, but Turbo C seems to be compiling faster as well - an event I hadn't counted upon. I'll have to look in the manual to see if it really DOES recognize the 287 or if it's all in my head. Needless to say, I'm pleased with AutoSketch's performance now too. I looked on Prodigy for AST's BBS number and can't find it; sorry. The BBS in C User's Group is "MSC Network". The only number I have is one listed for this area - 704-0313 -leading me to believe they are handled by a common carrier. Instructions are: Once connected, press to get the # prompt, then press to get the * prompt, then type .vtt to enter the MSC network. Follow the online registration instructions. Once on line, press EDI for instant access. This is the BBS I referred to as promising royalties to the shareware's author everytime someone downloads a copy of it. I don't know any more than this; I've never called it. Thought you might be interested if you write a fair amount of original useful utilities. The Coprocessor I was talking about in Elek-Tek is the Integrated Information Technologies 803C87. Speeds are: 16, 20, 25, and 33 MHz. Prices in the catalog range from $265 for either the 16 or 20 MHz units to $475 for the 33 MHz parts. Looks like about 2-5 times faster than Intel, depending on: 1. The specific math function performed, and 2. If you believe the ad copy. Thanks again for everything.
