- I didn't post to the originator as at the time I was playing with a new toy.
- I could highly recommend QuarterBack as long as you get the latest version,
- and after playing with it all last night, MRBackup by MRSoft (formerly
- distributed by TTR). MRB isn't as pretty looking as QB, but it does the job
- well. All the usual bells and whistles are supported, and it has a VERY
- rich Arexx interface (I haven't done a final talley but I think EVERYthing
- available via the control panel is there in the Arexx port, too).
-
- Before last night I was resigned to using the oh so lame TapeStore software
- that came with my WangTek tape drive. After last night, MRB takes the place
- of honor on my system.
