I'm looking for information on tape backup systems. I bought a
Fastback FB120 (QIC-128, 3M MCD/II). I bought it because it was
a good price, satisfied my storage needs and because it was
reviewed as being "A/UX compatible".
It came with zero information on how to install it on an A/UX
system. A call (and email) to Fifth Generation Systems has not
produced any more information (They say it should work fine if I
use the Mac OS backup software, but I can't see leaving the
console logged in all night as a normal practice.) I did try a
"newconfig tc" thinking that perhaps the support for Apple's 40SC
tape backup would also work, but I have not had any success with
this so far.
If the FB120 cannot be installed on an A/UX system, I need to
return it soon and get my money back. Does anyone know for a
fact that the FB120 will or will not work with A/UX? Would you
care to recommend *your* favorite tape backup system?
