I want to backup to tapes but want to rotate out the tapes my self. In 2000
there was a switch to use any tape available. How do I do that in XP?
thanks,
Rogue

Do people REALLY still use tape these days? An external HDD is FAR
superior....

Looking for something I can reuse, rotate, and take off site.

USB HDD can certainly do all that....

USB HDD can certainly do all that....

In fact with the very large HDDs available today you don't NEED to
rotate....

Plus, I think you'll find a USB hard drive is far cheaper than tapes per
gigabit.

Just to answer your question and not suggest another way to backup
I think

should help.. It says it's for XP too although i don't have a PC with XP to
try it on.

Trust a back-up to just 1 drive?
(You're kidding of course?)

I know the paranoia; I have a RAIDARRAY, two hard drives write to both
drives whatever I do. One goes bad, replace the bad, it updates and on I go.
Then I backup once a month to a network drive. And for the very important
files I also make a backup copy in a password protected folder at my ISP.

I'd say the first step to ensure data protection is to have a good USB.
Mother nature is probably the greatest cause of data loss. (Not counting the
human at the keyboard - Oppppsss! I just deleted WHAT!?
