Inexpensive and very portable is CDR/RW. We write all of our databases and application files to CDRW twice / day and burn a CDR once / day. We use the scheduler that comes with Windows and works like a charm. Many times I have had to look back at the library of CDR's to find a predated version due to a propagated error of of one sort or another. We have completely abandon tape as it can be very slow to access and other problems. We use Back-up Plus from http://www.avantrix.com/ which compresses all files into one file that is stored on to cdr. I can get any file off the backup in under 1 minute! They have a trial version and I think it costs 39.95 (well worth it!). It is the best backup software I have ever used. It has its own scheduler built in.
Just my .02.

I would add that they should keep a complete copy of their website, and indeed, all their company data, on tape/CD and in a bank vault, fireproof and offsite. All mission critical information should have a complete backup plan, including plans for disaster recovery. Mr. Murphy, assisted by hackers, can be a very expensive problem.
