ok, i see the following backup solutions:
tape:
there are various versions. uncompressed the best i see is
20megs uncompressed.
disk:
needs to be hotswap. ide hot swap seems to have poor support,
but scsi seems more possible? sizes are larger here, but the
media is more fragile.
disc:
cdrom only holds 600 megs or so. dvd is better? media more
fragile?
prayer:
unlimited size, media non-existant, eventually will fail.
what do people think?
