And nothing else is on that channel with it. And your ok. If you were to put it on the same channel as say, the HDD, then the harddrive will slow down to the tape drive transfer speed and the backup rate will be very slow. But if it's on it's own, then you will get maximum transfer. Wolf ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
