Clearly you won't be running Windows ... so there are numerous very adequate
backup programs, most of which would make short work of the 165 MB with an
adequate tape drive. My little EXB8200 would back that up, verify it, and
keep a file-by-file directory of the DOS files in about 25 minutes, I'd guess.
The EXB-8500C would do it in about 10 minutes on media costing about $3, with
room for several (~15) backups.
