Alan,
>> but since NT supports the Exabyte 8505 (and other SCSI backup devices)
natively, you can easily restore all apps, configurations, and data. <<
Have you had to do this much? I'm curious about the stability of NT after
install #1.
Also, I need to purchase a new backup device. How's the Exabyte holding up?
How much does it store on a tape, and what type of tapes does it support?
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
>>…do this much?<<
Only when I lunch a hard drive…NT seems fairly stable. I'll know more as I
start using it more. Had a coupla' display problems early on, but 3.51 fixed
all that. PLEASE check for viruses before installing NT to a DOS (or part of a)
DOS drive. A boot virus can really screw up NT installation.
The Exabyte 8505 can hold >10G per tape with compression, and is VERY fast! It
uses standard 8mm video or data-grade tape. I stick to the data-grade ones as
they are quite inexpensive and hold so much data anyway.
