Does EQ traders want a tape drive?

[Antoin]

After hearing about your backup woes (and remembering earlier about having a HDD crash at home) I looked over to my left and saw the 3.2 GB tape drive I picked up at an auction for 20 bucks. It works AFAIK.

Unfortunately it's parallel-port and the software's windows-specific, but it could save some people some major headaches; you could back things up locally in case anything happened.

It's a Seagate TapeStor 3200. It came with 3 unopened 3.2GB (1.6 uncompressed) tapes.

I don't use it right now and I figured I'd offer it to you, although I may end up using it myself in a few days.

I just expected some time since the last failure to make a backup. I had about 12 hours from when I got all my rights back to the next failure... and I didn't happen to make a new backup in that time.

Works for me.

Figured I'd offer, at least. You're welcome.
