I use Back Again/2 Pro on my desktop to back up my OS/2 system to my
Wangtek 6200HS DAT. I like it. The compression ratios and buffer sizes
can be customized which I find useful.
Just use it with an OS/2 supported SCSI adapter like the Adaptec
products and it'll do fine.
I have tried Novaback and Backmaster and found them both to be lacking
IMHO.
Any ideas for a good Win95 long file name supporting backup program to
use with my 6200HS DAT drive? the one that comes with Adaptec EZ-SCSI 4.1
claims my tapes are always wrie protected. I am getting by for now by
copying the entire Windows boot drive to a CDRW disc. I can restore with
a plain old mass xcopy. =)
I'd rather use my DAT though. CDRW discs are expensive and don't hold
enough.
