i am on the verge of upgrading my 7300 to either 40 or 80 Megabytes of
disk space, possibly more when John Milton's 4-disk upgrade becomes
available.  i am extremely concerned, however, about backing up the
system.  i went for 3 years on my Stride with only 1 backup, and i
think i'm probably at the end of my lucky streak.
i know that there are hardware hackers out there who have spliced
in cheap tape drives, there are the 2 different (according to TRC)
drives from AT&T, there are Bernoulli Boxes, and probably other
backup provisions that i've never heard of.
If you have a means of backing up your disk (other than floppies
or serial/parallel dump to another computer), i would appreciate
hearing from you.  What i'd like to know is  a) what setup you're
using,  b) how much does it cost [time/labor],  c) any special
sources for the equipment,  and  d) how satisfied you are with
this solution.
Thanks.
