The conversation about a real backup solution for OS X made me
think back to a job I once had. We had an RS/6000 with a SCSI
tape drive and the backup app was command line; tar IIRC. Of
course we didn't have to deal with resource forks (frankly I
don't either... I don't have OS 9/Classic installed on my
machine) but it was fast and efficient.
Why can't we use gnutar to write to a SCSI tape drive? What
would the device names be?
Excuse my ignorance. :)
I also found this site... maybe someone can use the source of
one of the applications in the links area to build a nice backup
solution? :)

And that Veritas thing... when do we get to be more than just
clients? The actual backup program would be nice!
Michael.
