Hi Bernie. Used to use a lot of tapes, which requires a lot of handling, tape head cleaning , tape changing and usually requires on site access.
These days with big cheap hard drives, I set up on and off site backup boxes and copy the data via network to these backup servers nightly or more if needed. Best thing about this solution, is it is fast and once setup, is very reliable and requires very little user intervention. Restores are super quick too. Also if i Have a hardware failure I already have the data on a running system. No stuffing around installing compatible tape drives into new systems...... I do backup up to tape still but really only for archiving of historical data. I use FTP and RSYNC and CRON. A script can compress the data once it has made it to the backup systems so you can store many backup sets.
