Hi, I seem to remember reading in popular electronics,
about software that
would let you use a vcr to backup your computer. I think it was about 10
years ago. Does anyone remember or know anything about this. My searches on
google have turned up nothing. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I don't remember the name, but about seven years ago, one of the machines I
was responsible for was an HP 9000/750 (Unix system) that had a commercial
product like this attached. I don't remember anything about it other than
the fact that the tapes cost about $100 each, as they had to be specially
certified.
