RE: Storage of a Save 21 Tape

Bill,

Couple of possibilities:

1) Dup the tapes(s) - can you do that with Save 21 ?
2) Do a double Save 21 (depending on how long that would take ?)

Subject: Storage of a Save 21 Tape

I'd like to hear everyone's methods for storage of their Save 21 tapes.

I store my business' tape at home as opposed to the bank's safety deposit
box because of the possibility that I'd need to retrieve it when the bank
would be closed -- the thought is horrendous to have the machine go down on
a Saturday night and not be able to begin recovery until Monday morning
(and if Monday were a holiday. . .).  Plus, the flooding in the Gulf Coast
cities has shown that even if the bank was open 24x7 there's no guarantee
the tape would be usable.

The only holes in my plan to keep the tape at my house are:
1)  A major disaster might possibly affect my house as well as the business
even though I'm 15 miles away.
2)  If I'm on vacation and the tape is needed, I'd have to work out getting
access (a minor problem).

So, I'm trying to figure out if there's a better way and am looking for
other ideas.

Bill
