Mike,
I know of one project to add VCR backup capability, but I don't know if
it is still in the works or not. The main problem is one of capacity and
reliability.
If you have a decent capacity, accuracy becomes a problem. Consumer-grade
VCRs are one of the worst ways to store computer data that I can think of.
It is far easier to use a real data quality tape drive.
