Yes its cheap but its filled once you back up 40GB. Jill and I have a Sony DDS Tape drive which stores 24 GB. Sure at the $ thats more expensive than a 40GB HD but you can make so many backups with tape! Also as well as having 3 backups, say weekly, daily etc, if your machine is fried by a lightening strike you still have yopur backups on tape. Will that 40GB HD survive ? What happens if your PC is stolen? They got ya backups as well ! Go for tape !
