Lazyweb: Mac backup software associated with Iomega Jaz?
In my data recovery sideline, I thought I might tackle some of my own ancient media. I have a number of Mac backups on ancient Jaz 1 GB disks, written in the period 1997-1999. Andrew Treloar of ANDS has recovered the contents of those files onto CD-ROM, so I'm not looking to read the media any more. There are 2 backups on each of 2 Jaz disks, and the CD has 4 files from each Jaz disk. The earliest two have the following names:
FIGIT 2.971113A #001FIGIT 2.971113A.FULL
I'm guessing these were written on 13 November, 1997. Definitely from a Mac. Does anyone know what backup software wrote these? I would like to recover the contents if possible!The .FULL is about 250 KB, while the #001 appears to be around 300 MB and is presumably the actual backup!Any ideas on what the backup software might be? I thought it might be some standard software on the Iomega install. The install disks I still have don't read properly, but I managed to get sight of a directory for a French DOS install disk, and couldn't see any file names that looked like backup software!
