Kirk, I do know the harddrive is 58 per cent used. The 8mm drive is in a white box, the only markings are on the bottom which says: Model MIDT-048. So I don't know what capacity it has. If 58 % of 14.55 is 8.439 gig. And if the smallest 8mm is a 2 gb tape, than five tapes should backup the entire system. In this situation would it take 2 hours or 6 hours to run this?
