These days, high capacity Hard Drives are relatively inexpensive, and moreover the
data transfer rates are about 1000 times as fast as any Tape Backup system. If you
install a HD rack in your PC you can do backups to the HD of any size at all without
the palaver that goes along with Tape Drives. However please take heed that you
would need at least two HD Racks and they MUST be identical in all respects.

I Hope this gives you an alternative line of thought,
