<div dir="ltr">That's why we keep the NAS around. It fits 2-3 months of backups. I like the online services , but with 1TB+ to backup and only 3MBps of bandwidth at the office, it's not practical.<br><br><br><br>

<div class="Ih2E3d">> Tapes, if properly maintained (and it isn't that much maintenance) work just fine.<br>

</div>.... until you need to get something off of one in the middle of a<br>
rainy night whilst on vacation in the sub-tropics. ;-)<br>

Tapes, while they have shown themselves to be time enduring, require a<br>
physical hands-on approach for all but the least-frugal of businesses.<br>
Enterprise-strength online backup providers (a'la Arsenal Digital,<br>
etc.) provide ease and sanity. Although now that I look at AD it<br>
seems $DAYJOB has bought them too. <sigh><br>
