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!

There was also a hardware/software solution for the Amiga platform, found on Aminet in the
disk/bakup dir, VBackup016.lha.
"Some days ago I got a message from the german distributor of the
"VideoBackupSystem" (Performance Peripherals Europe). They told me, that they
think, VBackup looks so similar to the VBS (especialy due to the usage of the same
hardware) that VBackup is a violation of the VBS copyright."
I may have the older file that has the schematics & software still archived
somewhere.
