Hi,
 
Yes...but, you'll probably find that PC backup software is about like
Unix backup software:  not too good.
 
I used to take our Bering DDS (dual SCSI/HPIB) drive home infrequently,
to backup my home PCs, and once tried an HP external SCSI DDS drive (sorry,
don't remember the model#).
 
I have 2 PCs (one with a high-end Adaptec SCSI card, and one with a low-end
Trantor SCSI card), and tried three or four tape backup packages (including
one or two from Corel) ... only one package ran successfully on both
machines, TMATE from Trantor.  (And, although I use it, I still don't like
it much.)
 
It almost made me want to write a decent PC backup system. :)
