I currently do not have a tape back up and want to get one really soon. What device would work well with BSD as well as windows? I am on a pretty tight budget so many of the DAT drives etc are out of the question.... I have considered the Iomega Jaz or the Zip drives, but really don't know much about 'em. Anyways, any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tom Misiak
