Hi Stef.

As agreed i am Just letting you know that i have recieved the ilok earlier this week. thankyou verymuch for yor help. i am in the process of sorting through all 130 of my exabyte tapes which is a daunting task.

I will post up on here when i'm finished with the ilok and i'll gladly send it on to the next person as long as they get the courier bill as i have done from Stef.

Thanks again Stef you r a star

This thread is another reminder that unless we are very careful we stand to lose all we have done to incompatible formats.

FWIW, the Retrospect backup option I use is "Duplicate" which simply updates the backup drive to make it look exactly like the source drive. I have 2 backups for every drive I use. The backups are rotated to an offsite location.

Retrospect is very good at scripting backups, so i have a script for every drive I'm using--double click the script (or series of scripts) at the end of the day and you're updated. if you use Duplicate, what you end up with is an exact copy of your data, mountable and accessible on any system (or at least until firewire 800 is dead).

I never went the Mezzo route and now I'm glad I didn't!

Hi I am also looking for Mezzo software from some old DLT backups that I have in storage. Anyone have the software working in LA ?

I do have a DLT also.
