Hi,
is there anybody running Warp with Backmaster and a Conner Tape Store
(latest model)? If so, please send me your experiences via mail.
Thanks in advance

I'm running Backmaster v1.01 with a Conner Internal 250mb drive. My
system is a Dell 486DX2 50Mhz. Backmaster seems to be working fine, although
I have backed up only a few directories so far (about 10-12MB). Tested the
restore once without problems.
I may be the odd-ball in this forum, however, since I have had virtually no
problems with WARP on either my desktop Dell or my Thinkpad notebook. I run
a huge array of software, including DOS, Windows WIN32S, and OS/2 32-bit
programs virtually free of system errors or application hangs. I did,
adjust some of the Windows memory and files parameters after install to run a
couple of programs, most notably the SPSS for Windows 6.1 Statistical
Packages and the (now abandoned due to functional deficiencies) Managing Your
Money for Windows, v2.
Hope this helps.

I'm running BackMaster 1.1 with the 250Mb Connor TapeStor (Internal) on a
486DX50 with 8mb. I've done full backups of both FAT and HPFS drives, about
a gig's worth, with no problems.
On an 8mb system you may occasionally get an error message about not having
enough storage. It only occured on my system during minor operations, was
corrected by exiting and restarting BackMaster, never cost me any time and
never interfered with a backup. BackMaster warns that this may occur on 8mb
systems, which is the minimum they seem to support.
So far I'm satisfied.

I tried running Backmaster 1.1 on my os/2 2.11 system with 16 meg of memory,
and a 540hd with the colorado systems 250, and could never get a single
backup session to complete without getting verify errors. This grew so
exasperating that I returned Backmaster. I am going to try Dualstor.
BTW, tech support could only mumble something about guaranteed access times
(whatever that means... ,and to set my bus speed at 8mhz in the CMOS setup
program (which it already was ...))
Cheers,
