How about hard disks? 200GB in a 3.5" USB2 enclosure comes out at ~$200 
apiece. Hot pluggable, much cheaper than tapes, about the same speed, no 
possibility of getting a tape stuck in the drive, easy to automate (down to 
flagging the drives and having the backup script whine loudly if the wrong 
backup drive is presented).

Cheers; Leon
