Hi Andrew, We've gotten rid of tape using this system:
http://www.high-rely.com/HR3/includes/TandemDXR/TandemDXR.php I can't tell on the unit's you've linked to, but this mirrors the two drives, so you pull out one for off-site, while the other drive remains online. The mirroring is done inside the box, so when you plug in the "old" drive returning from off-site, it automatically syncs up with the "source" drive. Anyway, I'm very happy to be rid of tape...
