- AmiBack is much better...it can store more than one backup on each tape.
- This is especially useful if you have a large size tape backup unit...I
- have a 2gig DAT tape backup unit hooked up to my Toaster. AmiBack allows
- me to compress data before it goes to tape, resulting in about 4gigs of
- storage per tape...this allows me to almost back up all my drives onto
- one tape. =) It's FAST too!

- Quick tip for PAR owners...don't turn on data compression when backing up
