23.019 What's a good utility for doing tape backups on the GS?

         Here follows an unpaid testimonial:  The Tim Grams GS desktop SCSI backup
utility called "GSTape" works great! I got it for an old Apple Tape 40SC, did
several backup/restores, and then ran across a 2GB DAT drive. Yep, it worked
with no problems, too!  (-:

     As one of those very satisfied customers, I testify that for someone with
a SCSI tape drive, GSTape is very much worth the money.  It is reliable and
simple to operate in both backup and restore mode.  It has an appropriate
script capability and, although I have not used this feature, it allows timed
backups (so that you don't have to be present).

     It is much better than the RAMFast built-in tape backup program.  I
currently use it to backup both SCSI and Vulcan (IDE) hard drives.
