Hello,
        I was wondering how long it would take to backup the entire system.
I'll use the GO SAVE option 21 and back it up on 8mm tapes. The machine is a
model 500 with a 14.55 gig hard drive. The reason I was wondering how long
this would take is because the system will be in a restricted state, so it
has to be done after hours, and I have only one 8mm drive so I'll be
swapping tapes until the backup is done. If anyone has a rough time estimate
for doing this I'd appreciate it.
TIA
