As usual I probably am out of step with the world, but I've never cared
for tape backup. That was really driven home on an HP 1000 system on time
when the tape drive refused to read beyond record #n for whatever reason.

Not only that, supposed I backup my OS with some compressing BU scheme
and I want to recover the Registry. How now brown cow? I've opted to
BU to CDs on an selected file basis. If I have to reinstall Win it
certainly does no good to recover from an image of the previous system.

I'd appreciate learing from tape backup advocates...

I'm trying to use the Backup utility included with Win98SE. When I go to
the screen where I choose to install it (it doesn't get installed by
default), it says it supports tape devices.

What backup program are you using? BackUp My PC works with tape, cd,
dvd or
even to a hard disk.

Could be you need to reinstall your program again after the tape drive
install. Or, maybe your backup program needs a new driver to see your
tape
drive.
