Note that the use of external drives like USB for "disaster recovery"

data during transport.
What do you suggest? Tape drives are pricy compared to a 2.5" laptop
Tape drives are indeed pricey. But the tapes are more robust than
discs. I use CDROMs. But I can fit a backup on just three of them.
If you are backing up many many gigs, then your best bet is still
a tape drive.
