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

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.
