Nope, Backup Exec(or most other prof. Backup appications) will handle everything i, just remember to assign the loader a lower SCSI ID than the drive, then every think works fine (it sometimes works without, but if you do this there shuld be no prob. ) Best regards Johnny "Peter Hucker" wrote in message news  Forgot to ask (as you seem to be familiar with this drive) - do I need any software or will the backup software handle it ok?
