Hi all: This discussion of backups to tape reminded me that I have always wondered, why do some people chose tape as backup solution for desktop pc's. It seems to me that it's much cheaper, faster, and more reliable to just buy another hard drive and dedicate it for backups. Is there any reasons tapes are a better choice? -- Arcady Genkin "You should seek your enemy, you should wage your war -- a war for your opinions.
