I am looking for a good backup unit for A/UX. I have considered the
Apple SC40 tape, but it is pricey and uses a cartridge that is not
common in the UNIX world. My preferences for equipment would be:
1) A tape system that used UNIX industry standard formats,
such as QIC-24. It would need to have an A/UX driver available
for access via tar or cpio. [Best.]
2) A removable cartridge disk, in the 40MB+ range, that A/UX
could mount and umount as a file system. (I'm told that there
may be problems sending the hardware eject commands.) [Good.]
3) A tape that used some other format, but that could deal
with both MacOS and A/UX. I would want to backup entire A/UX
partitions and be able to use tar or cpio for individual
files. [OK.]
If you can help, please contact me. Thanks.
