A recording and/or reproducing system for recording and/or reproducing a backup recording for a host computer has a recording and/or reproducing section and an interfacing unit integrally formed within a casing. The recording and/or reproducing section records and/or reproduces digital data or digital signals on or from a loaded recording medium, such as a magnetic tape. The interfacing unit has a first input/output section for exchanging data and/or signals with the host computer and a second input/output section for exchanging data and/or signals with the recording and/or reproducing section. The interfacing unit converts data and/or signals supplied from the recording/reproducing section through the second input/output section and sends the converted data and/or signals through the first input/output section to host computer, while converting data and/or signals supplied through the first input/output section from the host computer and sending the converted data and/or signals through the second input/output section to the recording and/or reproducing section. The interfacing unit and the host computer are connected via a protruding portion of the casing that fits within a slot in the host computer.
