} 
} 	I've got a Colorado Memory QIC-80 "floppy tape" drive,
} which I bought to do backups.  I'm now wondering if it's time to
} sell it and get something else!

I've got a CMS Jumbo 250.  I back it up with:
	dump 0f - / | ft	and
	tar cvzf - /usr | ft

  Both work great for me.  The only problem I have is that I can't use dump
to backup my /usr partition (/dev/rwd0e or whatever it is).  ft crashes, so
I have to use tar.
