Your backup system is nothing more than a tape recorder.  As long as it's
software can deal with long file names (and it can) then you have no
problems recording the backup.

This __should__ not be a problem, provided the tape software's restore
routine can be run from a DOS prompt.  Again, it is basically a tape
recorder playing back whatever was recorded.

> Will this backup tape work??

I don't see why not.

> Can I restore via my network?

That depends on the network setup.

 Has anyone every tried this??

Yes (with a Travan T-1000).
