Do anyone of you use any tape drive for personal backup? I personally use a
2nd internal hard-drive where I perform nightly backups but twice a year I
backup to offline media (DVD-R DL media)...but right now I'm reaching 100 GB
of data...that's a bunch of data to burn! (even if it's dual layer media).
I know there are HD and Blu-ray drives but they're too expensive. I think I
can get a tape-drive for much mess.
I just would like to know if anyone recommends any particular tape-drive and
also what software do you use with it (just plain tar?)
Thanks!

external usb harddisk to hold two copies of your data per year.
To backup your data I would suggest to use rsysnc. But as you are doing
it only twice yearly, imho, it doesn't really matter.
For example, I am using rsnapshot for all my backup activities. This
uses rsync for the purpose. I am backing up just personal data on one
linux server and from one windows XP client, all saved to a usb disk
that is connected to the linux server.
If you are aware of the usb harddisk shortcomings imho this is very
cheap, very quick, fully automatic and very easy to restore.
kind regards
Eberhard
