Corvus made a device ("The Mirror") that pre-dated the AI announcement
by years (probably [very] early 1980's) for backing up their hard
disks. (This was back when a 'big' hard disk was typically 5-20
megabytes :).

RE The Last One: early in my consulting days, I actually talked to
someone who told me he had bought this for his business. He described
it as an Applesoft database program generator that walked you through
a series of data descriptions and then spat out source code for your
application. (I can't recall how well he said it worked.)
