Using virtual tapes on a separate terrabyte drive with a 30 day recycling of old backups.
The size of a typical install for LCNC is not that much of a disk stuffer, under 10Gb even for old machines here, so I could, but I am not grabbing the whole machine, but just those directories that are volatile. It takes me about 10 minutes to remember how to run amrecover, and retrieve all my LCNC configs and the nc_files. >From real tapes, which are not random access, it would take 100x longer, but would work just as well.
