Ouch!, 20GB through the parallel port? That sounds painful. I've done a
Win95 install from a parallel Zip drive, and that was only 35MB, and that
was the pits. (I know, I know - consorting with the devil)
Unfortunatey, backups are the dirty little secret no-one talks about with
these new huge drives. It could cost you more than the whole machine for
a decent backup solution.
Myself, I would only do SCSI for that kind of size, and something that
uses cheap tapes, not those damn Travan or whatever at $30-$40 a pop. You
may as well just buy another hard-drive.
