rfrisken Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hello...I am currently using an older Onstream DI-30 as my backup device but as you are probably aware that the company is insolvant...and that makes it near impossible to get support or media for this device. I no longer have a cleaning tape...so the life of this device is short. My question is.....I am thinking of going to external harddrives as my backup devices. I currently have about 13 gig of data that I am backing up and I was thinking that since I have a couple of 30 gig maxtors collecting dust that I would buy external drive kits and convert these drives to backup duty. Will I have problems with Dantz in this respect....ie will I be able to use these devices without any trouble...or am I wading into gator infested waters. The cost of this strategy is less than half the cost of a new travan system with tapes.....any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 This should be okay. Lots of users use USB 2.0 drives as backup devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
