What do you guys suggest for a tape backup for a 100GB hard disk system? I'm planning on going XFS and want to dump partitions to tape, but I only know about the really expensive tape backups that hold, like 25-100 tapes.
Where can I find something that's inexpensive but holds a lot of data and works well with Linux?

Hi, Bryan:

CD/RW devices and media are cheaper than tape. :-|
Hard drives are sometimes rather cheap also. I've seen 40 gigabyte drives for 48usd.
I'm guessing that a 40G tape cartridge would
be nearly 48USD. :-|

HTH, Chuck
