Der er vist kun en løsning
Ecrix VXA-1 Tape Drive
Jeg "vedhæfter" en anmeldelse af VXA-1 drevet nedenfor. Den er fra
"Macintosh Weekly Journal 26/08 2000". Beklager jeg ikke kan lave en
URL, men det er er "subscription only".
Men det korte af det lange er, at pris/ydelse er KANON hvis man køber et
VXA-1 drev. Man fristes næsten til at sige, at det er "det eneste
rigtige valg", men det tør jeg nu ikke sige her
Her er også et par links fra TidBITS:

**The Ecrix VXA[tm]-1 Tape Drive**
We've been using one of these beasties for a little over two
months now, and it's just about as trouble-free as backup gets.
Dozens of writers have made the case for backup software over the
years, especially the folks at _TidBITS_, who devoted all of issue
#70 [57] ("published 477 weeks ago") to the Macintosh's standard
backup program, Retrospect, way back in 1991. More recently,
_TidBITS_ published a _six-part_ series on backing up your
Macintosh [58], and this from a newsletter that until recently had
a 32K limit per issue. We recommend a pragmatic approach. Our
computers have irreplaceable files on them - subscription
information, all our back issues, all the production tools we've
created - in addition to the traditional collection of software,
documents, downloads, logs, bookkeeping, scheduling, and other
information found on nearly any personal computer.

Losing even one day's worth of this information could be
catastrophic, as even if we could recreate it, it could take an
entire day. For example, while we can easily get copies of issues
we've distributed, no one else has our source files or bookkeeping
records. What's more, since we occasionally live on the bleeding
edge of technology, we sometimes find corruption in our common
files. Once, a few years back, we opened our database to enter
that day's new subscriptions and changes, only to have FileMaker
Pro tell us that - for reasons that still escape us - the database
was damaged beyond repair. It had worked fine earlier that
morning, and no one had touched it in the interim.
But we didn't panic - we turned to our daily backups and
resurrected the most recent copy of the database. Fortunately, it
was intact. If it wasn't, we'd have gone back one day at a time
until we found one that worked, and try to reconstruct the changes
from other data that hadn't been corrupted - distribution logs,
receipts, and so on. It wouldn't have been fast, but it would
have worked. Without a recent backup, we would have been
completely hosed. (One of the things we've learned over the years
is that subscribers get _really_ annoyed if we don't keep perfect
track of when we charged their credit cards and try to do it again
and again.)
Daily backups - after publishing each issue - have been part of
our regimen since before MDJ_'s original beta-test in August 1996.
Our initial setup included a DAT tape drive with what, at the
time, seemed like limitless capacity - 1GB per tape without
