I bought an Onstream ADR2.60ide tape drive because it seemed a great combination of speed, capacity, and value.
I read a review that seemed to say that the Tapeware software included would back up drives mapped with Microsoft Networking, but alas! When I tried it I found that it would only back up local drives, unless you pay $199 more for an upgrade.
So I looked for options, and found that it's supposed to work with networked drives if you use Microsoft's Backup from Windows 2000 with a driver downloaded from Onstream.
Trying that, I discovered that Windows 2000 doesn't recognize ADR tapes, thinking they're Travan or MiniQIC instead. I found documentation for that bug, that said I needed Service Pack 2 for Win2000. So I downloaded and installed that.
But Windows 2000 still doesn't recognize ADR tapes, offering only Travan and MiniQIC options from Backup.
What am I missing???? Help!
