Not really an easy question to answer because selecting appropriate media
depends a lot on how much data needs to be backed up.
Personally I like to use both. My general strategy is to have a 2nd disk
with sufficient capacity to hold a full backup and a week of nightly
incrementals. At the end of the week I do a backup to tape then recycle the
disk based storage sets. I cycle the tapes off site. Depending on the
capacity of the tape, the end of week tape may be a full backup or it may be
a backup of the backup disk.
In developing a backup strategy its always a compromise between cost and
potential to lose data.
Cheers, Malcolm
