Mark, I am using the 8505XL also to backup and restore Flyer projects. When I insert an Exabyte tape cartridge in the drive, the middle LED comes on orange indicating compression is active. I have read the manual carefully for any method of turning off compression, but so far I have been able to find no way to do this. Apparently compression has to be turned off by the software and NewTek's Backup.ARexx software makes no provision for turning off compression. I would greatly appreciate learning from you if you succeed in finding a way to turn off compression of the 8505XL tape drive. My success at backing up and restoring projects parallels your. I backed up a 42 minute project then removed it from the drive. Upon restoring, two clips would not play and had to be redigitized. This was under 4.04B Flyer software. I have backed up two projects under 4.06, but, to date, I have not had an opportunity to restore them and check to see how they play. Tom
