Iomega REV - A great backup storage system that small and mid-sized businesses have been using for years, is tape. Tapes can hold a lot of data, are removable, and fairly inexpensive. But with Iomega's REV, all of that changes for the better! The REV features removable 35GB disks that can hold a whopping 90GB of data when compressed. Perfect for today's businesses, or home computers that need a ton of storage space for large files. And the REV does it's work much faster than tape, utilizing a USB 2.0 interface! Includes - Iomega REV System Software, Iomega Automatic Backup Pro, 1 REV disk with case, USB 2.0 data cable, & Power Supply PC Only

 BEWARE - serious restoration issues July 21, 2008
James A. Piccolo (Spring Lake Heights, NJ USA)
On paper this product is ideal for small businesses that want a low cost solution to backing up multiple gigabytes of data.
As described by other reviewers the installation is not always smooth and is by no means intuitive.
I've setup 4 customers with this solution and it seems to backup fine but beware that restoration can present very serious problems if any part of the disk/tape is corrupted.
At the root of these backup disks is a small index file and if damaged in some way it can COMPLETELY prevent the restoration of your data. Even if the data is clearly visible with the appended IOMEGA file extension (*.iab) you can't restore your data.
Iomega provides a small utility to help address this shortcoming but it doesn't work if compression is enabled in the backup software (but compression is enabled by default in the software!).
They do have an advanced data restoration department presumably to help with these problems but they charge hefty fees.
This is really an unconscionable way to design a backup solution. I would consider another vendor, possibly an online solution.

Great alternative to tapes May 15, 2007
D. Goodwin (Watsonville, CA USA)
This is based on bernoulli(removable hard drive) technology that is random access and is 8 time faster than a type drive in most cases. The cartridges are the same size as a stack of four 720k/1.44mb floppy disks. Works with most tape back up software. There are various models of this drive which include internal vs external and interface type such as USB, SCSI, Firewire, IDE.
Lived a good long time, then died without warning. February 21, 2007

We've been using our REV for several years as an accounting system backup device. Simple. Scriptable. Dependable. The only problem was that it rolled over on its back one evening and died. I suppose you can't expect these things to last forever, and ours went a good 3+ years without incident. Now that the price is down in the $260 range, it's a nice little device for nightly backups.
 Unreliable power supply September 1, 2006

This product worked fine for me for about a year until the power supply failed. This was very inconvenient, and caused my client to have a gap in their data backup. Iomega were good enough to send me a replacement.
After about another year the replacement power supply failed. Another gap in my clients data backup, not to mention a small dent in their confidence in me. This time Iomega were unwilling to replace, and so I had to buy another replacement power supply.
