I can recommend the Ecrix SCSI DLT tape drive -- 66 Gb (or smaller) tapes. For software, rolling your own with tar is the best solution, in my opinion. There's a good discussion of backups in 'Linux System Administration', Carling et al., New Riders 2000. If you're a tyro at backing up, you will benefit from Chapter 8 of 'The Linux Problem Solver', Brian Ward, No Starch 2000. Good luck, Dwight
