BackMaster v3.0
---------------
BackMaster 3.0 is the most significant update to the software since the
original 1.0 release. The most often requested feature - a full featured
scheduler, has been included, the graphical user interface (GUI) has been
enhanced with a new icon speedbar and the hardware "drivers" that interface the
tape drive hardware to the software have been rewritten to build in automatic
tape drive detection and dynamic performance monitoring to automatically set
the correct interface speed. Many new tape drives are now supported and
BackMaster is the only OS/2 software to support the IOmega Ditto and Sony 2GB
capacity tape drives.
