Er..., I think you mean Hiback. Hiback will enable you to backup your HP
3000 to your NT server. Since it would go beyond the boundaries of plugs
to give prices, I am e-mailing you the prices directly to you

I understand this is inefficient, but what is the cost for the software
BACKUP/3000? To enable me to
Use the hp3000 as the client and an Ntserver as the server to do the backup
over the network.
On a side note & Really, I'm not joking, How easy is it to attach/detach
this backup machine to the HP at will?
