SonySuperstation problems



Dear Sony, 
 
I have two Sonysuperstations and both have problems. Frequently  error messages and tape errors which  indicate formatting problems appear.  The backup some times takes two days to run or never ends.  It conflicts with other software and I can not run back-ups automatically. I must close other software for the back up to begin.In the past  I  returned  one superstation for repair and in the interim purchased the new one.  After about 6 months or more of not hearing from you concerning the repair I called only to find that the location where I dropped off the backup had closed.  Thank God I had all of my paperwork. Although you never found the backup you sent me a new one which also did not run for long without the same problems. 
I can not find the backup tapes anymore at Staples or CompUSA.  I have gone on line and have trouble finding them.  I had up to 6 at one time and each one gradually stopped working. I could not successfully erase them and they kept having error messages  which stated they needed formatting.  This experience potentially became a nightmare when my business program had a problem. I shipped my latest backup to them and they could not retore it. I too tried to restore and the backup failed to do what I bought it for!!!All this time I was backing up data only to find out that there would be a problem restoring it.
I am very dissatisfied with this product.  I came across a Web site 'The Sony Superstation is Garbage'.  I was surprised to find that so many others have experienced the same problem.  I bought this product as well as other Sony products over the years because of the name Sony and thought that you stood behind your products. Currently I have two backups that don't work and I operate my business daily without the protection of a reliable backup system.
What do you plan to do about all of the problems the Sony Superstation is having and how can I get my money back for the purchase of 2 SonySuperstations as well as at least 6 backup tapes? Evelyn
