#Back up the PAR ?
>> What backup software have you used on it? <<
Corel SCSI-2 tape backup utility.
It isn't very fancy, but it works. One problem the utility has is that
doesn't recognize the PAR drive – some sort of problem with the way they verify
that the path is valid. As a consequence restore must be via the DOS drive. I
haven't had to do a restore for months, so it isn't a heart breaker. Backups
from PAR work, if a little slow (ISA bus problem).
I have been trying to find out more about Novaback, from NovaStor. I
understand they have a good SCSI product, but I can't find a phone number for
them anywhere. I tried to use Colorado Backup for Windows with no success.
When I contacted them, they were definitely not concerned with supporting
someone else's drive — too bad, they have a nice program.
I haven't upgraded to the 1.5 PAR software, there are enough ripples on my
pond right now without tossing in more pebbles. But I plan to put it on soon.
I'd be interested to know what you wind up with software-wise.
Thanks! Cal
