I'm using a Sony DAT DDS2 drive (4-8gb) together with Diavolo Backup to backup my Movieshop projects on my OS3.9 DraCo and it works great. So it should also work on your A4000. I don't think HDBackup supports tape devices but for example ABackup on aminet does AFAIK.

I don't see how it could matter on which scsi host you would connect both drives, as it's the slowest drive that limits the backup speed and not the controller? The slowest drive is obviously always the tape drive, as I don't even see a tape drive coming close to the speed limit of a fast-scsi host. Correct me if i'm wrong here...

about the cleaning cassette, normally you get a cleaning cassette with your dat drive if you buy it new I guess. At least I did...
