     I just got DualStor, and it seems to work well... It's like $55 and
freight from Indelible Blue (1-800-776-8284 voice, 919-790-2489 bbs,
http://www.indelible-blue.com/ib on the WWW).. It's written by IBM, and
supports *just about* anything from 250 meg up on the floppy style back
ups... And, if I read everything right, it changed my Conner 250 to a 350 
Just haven't tried a tape yet to see if I'm right or not... I used Backmaster
before, and was never impressed with it... DualStor seems to work well, and
it's alot easier on the system resources....
