Otherwise it would be a very expensive backup solution over the time (also depending on the amount of backup data). ;-) If media reliability is not most important for you and you already have some (used) hard drive or USB drive then the costs are zero. If you wanna have a more robust solution you must spend some money for a tape drive or a hard disk RAID. If you wanna use tape, don't buy a DAT drive. Most of them (especially the cheaper ones) are crap. As Armin already suggested, buy a DLT or LTO tape. -- Regards wabe
