Well - I'm going to disks now. I think..
Disks are fast
Data on disks don't deteriorate like tape
Disks are reusable 1000 times - tapes 20 to 40
Disks are easier to copy from
Disks are cheaper than tapes now
It is easy to have a few external disks to carry away for off-site storage
It is easier to make automatic off-site 'over-the-LAN/WAN' replikation with
diskbased backup
It runs for months without care - fire your operator and go fishing;-)
Kern actually gives the whole setup in the manual
So why not?
If you buy mobo with 2 S-ATA + 1 IDE controller, you can have up to ten
cheap harddisks each 250 - 400 GB in raid
I have also some data that changes a lot - I make differential backup every
day, but recycles after a week, and then full every month, and recycles
them after 6 months
Then you can have two external harddisks to bring one home or off-site
every other day
cheers

oh .. i forgot ...
full backup is currently 25 GB, media should support at least 40 GB of
uncompressed data, options for incremental backups are limited since the
data change is pretty high ...
