Use Retorspect to "flush" the Macs to an NT server; and UltraBac
<http://www.ultrabac.com> to "reach out" to the 95 & NT workstations for
their backup.

Also, don't waste your time, money, or data for a DAT or any other helical
scan technology: Use a mainframe quality DLT (Digital Linear Tape), which
will provide up to 70 gigabytes onto a single cartridge... With a
half-million pass tape life.

There's only one thing worse than no backup... And that's a failed backup! :(
