Tape system: HP Surestore 24GB DSS3 DAT Drive using the HP Colorado Backup II & One-Button Backup. Unfortunately i have been using the system for about 1.5 years and thinking i was doing the correct thing. Had a major crash and found none of the tapes i was saving for backups were any good. Further i found a user manual which sucks as it presumes you can produce a quality tape to then use their one button backup. Only problem is they never explain how to produce that quality tape. I am looking for manuals on that system and when calling HP i found them to be clueless. Their best suggestion was for me to call technical support and pay them $25.00 to tell me they probably do not have any manuals.... If you know of a source for quality manuals that explain how to produce tapes and what to do when overwriting tapes, etc. please let me know i would appreciate that. john * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
