I understand that. People are bouncing all over the place
and I'm trying to address them all. Again, I'm going to put
of a set of "scenarios" on my blog.
In his case, I'd use a couple 80GB 2.5" drives with high G
tolerances. Or if he wants a tape, maybe a VXA-1.
My point is that once you start talking 100GB of backup --
beyond sub-$1K AIT-2 or VXA-2 -- where people start looking
at DLT, don't get anything "mid-capacity." Go for the latest
LTO revision, currently LTO-3, because the cost per GB goes
down _substantially_!
That's my point.
