along a similar vein, I was thinking that maybe one solution might be to get
a few of the 200+ gig external usb2 drives, use them in a rotation. 5 of
those is only 1500 as opposed to a tape library and tapes, plus with usb2.0
I can restore to just about anywhere, if I lose the tape drive I gotta find
another tape drive or larger one to do the trick. anyone have ideas on
that?

thanks
