I've been using DVD+RW selectively -- certain things get back up to certain disks -- and for total backups I now use DLT. I bought a slightly used 15GB DLT off eBay for $75 and it works beautifully. You can also use used tapes as long as you keep the heads clean, and I've had no trouble. > -----Original Message----- > From: mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ted Cotton > Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 8:09 PM > To: mswindowsxp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [mswindowsxp] Re: Buzzing at boot-up. > > Hi, Joe. > > > If it's a disk image you're after there's great freeware > for that.
