Re: [MLUG] iomega atapi zip 100

This is on a home server.  Yes it does have an outside connection but 
the upload speed is slow (32K).  Besides I like to have 100% control 
over my backups.
As for the tape or cdr.  As some of you know I am just a DataCenter 
Tech.  I do not have much extra money to blow.  I did have an old zip 
drive and disks doing nothing so I thought I would put them to use.  I 
know the down falls of the zip disk but when you do not have the money 
you use what you have.
Any other ideas on a FIX for the problem????
