Hi To put in my 2c worth, we have a DAT tape backup unit, which I think was the same model Noah used on the Ark. It stores 4 gig on a 120 minute special high-quality DAT.
Backups that we haven't accessed for 5 years are still good, which is something in these days of dubious archiving longevity. But it's flippin slooooow. No, really. 3 or 4 hours a tape, double it if ya verify. I'm sure they've sped up a bit these days, but the tape is still expensive. And it's still tape. Why not get yerself a DVD RW? The price has dropped heaps, and media is cheaper than tape. And it fits your IDE bus easy. Good luck Steve
