Don, I'm not saying that Central Coast or New Horizons aren't supportive of the Amgia community. QB has been a main staple of my computer diet for many years. However, when I switched to a streaming tape unit, QB wasn't there to help me. I didn't care too much for GVP's TapeStore and when I got tired of it I looked for a replacement. QB still wasn't there with support. There was plenty of time in-between for them to add the support. I found Ami-Back, it supported ALL devices + had a Scheduler. Now of course since QB only worked with floppies for backup media what would it need with a scheduler? I liked changing my daily routine of flipping umpteen floppies into my drives to inserting one 150mb tape. Why should I wait around for it to back up when I can automate the process? By the time the 4.3 upgrade came out of QB to fix the 2.04 bug I've been streaming tape for a couple a two years, so no I guess I missed the impact of the swift actions of CC, but they've always been fair in their policies of upgrading their products. Now I don't know if Ami-Back is really here for the long run or if the company that wrote it has the strength needed to stay in the Amiga market. I've talked to the author, (call him up and talk to him yourself) he talked to me for a while about Ami-Back and Amigas and was very enthusiastic and seemed quite capable to me. [ MORE ]
