- I believe that Retrospect supports the Exabyte 8mm tape drives and that with
- the right cable - probably have to get it made up custom - you should be
- able to backup to a Sun Exabyte drive.

- I have access to an Exabyte drive that we use on a Sun SPARCstation. It is
- a SCSI device, so I would guess that I could connect it to my Mac if I had
- the appropriate cable. What else do I need in order to use the drive as
- a backup device? Do I need special drivers, or is there a backup program
- that knows how to drive an Exabyte? I think this has been asked before,
- but I wasn't paying attention then. :v) Thanks in advance for your help.
