Dual layer DVD +- RW drives are under $100 and media is
about a dollar for single layer, higher for dual layer.
Also it is random access, so they are more useable than
tapes.
A USB/Firewire hard drive is also a good back-up choice.
But if you just want to experiment, look for NT drivers,
they may or may not work.
