which format do you need? is it the one in the carrier? in any case the media isn't hard to find, just expensive. many of the online stores have the media. if you look and still can't find the media let me know, it is out there, it's just too expensive. currently i'm using a second hard drive to backup my main drive, it's overkill but by far the cheapest way to backup a large drive at present (other than tape of course, but tape is notoriously flaky, there was a survey done, people reported the tape being useless 1/2 the time they really needed it! i've played with tape and had similar results).
