[QUOTE="pgh13, post: 1012647, member: 191774"] Problem with DAT tapes now is that the capacities are much smaller than hard drives, these days. We used to use DAT-120 tapes which were 4GB native, 8GB with compression, so a DAT-60 would be half that. I think the UR symbol is a US certification, but was never sure what its origin was. There weren't many manufacturers of hardware so if you pop the top of the case you'll find a familiar name; HP, Sony etc. I had a collection of SCSI controllers that we used way back with NT 3.5 and NT 4, but 3 years ago, although I'd previously used them with XP, I couldn't get any sense out of them on Win 2000, 2003 etc. We used to use Backup Exec, but I think this was just a fancy front end that made the native NT Backup and SQL Backup more user friendly. You used to be able to download a free 1 month eval version. [/QUOTE]
