- Video Backup System from Rossm"oller backs up about 35-40 an hour,
- that's about 150 megs on a four hour high quality VHS tape on a
- standard HQ VCR. Sure it's slow, but you don't have to mess around
- with lots of floppys all the time.

- Costs only about UD$ 100. (The price may have been lowered lately...)
