  13. I'm looking for ways to backup user hard disks (mostly 40 meg) which people 
  14. would actually use.
  15. Floppies are a little inconvient and the folks here tend not to back up.  We 
  16. have a 9 track tape
  17. drive connected to our sun, but people tend to stay away from using it to back 
  18. up their macs.
  19.  
  20. My thoughts were to look into a 155 TEAC tape, but do not wish to purchase 10 
  21. - 15 of them.  Our
  22. mac network is LocalTalk, so I do not know how well this would work for 
  23. network backups.
  24. Also because of a security problem with unauthorized users, I'm leary about 
  25. leaving the machines on
  26. and doing an unattended backup over the weekend.  (Someone is playing with them 
  27. over the weekends)
  28.  
  29. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
  30.  
  31. Thanks
