Hi,
We have had a problem with trying to backup users data on the
Aspect/Hamiltonian as the tape drive didnt seem to be too reliable ie
cause the system to crash or jam. Replaced the drive once. We give the
opition of backing up on the 3 1/2 inch floppy or rcpy over to a sun
work station and back it up on a scsi tape. Now we can offer tape backup
on a colorado tape device on a PC using windows 3.1, WSFTP-32. The only
problem is you have to force lower case in WSFTP in the options menu. It
works fine. I guess Win 95 (wretch) works also but has a bug causing a
problem with the file name. I thought I would throw this out for what it
is worth. Cheers!
