Hard drives provide near-online backup, but only a single full
iteration. You can do incrementals to DVD or CD-RW or tape, and keep
many iterations handy, which is far more reliable.
If you use dump/restore you can do iterative backups to a spare HD as
well...
Sure. But a single spare HD is a single point of failure. Having one tape per
week or per month going back 10 or 100 tapes gives much more redundancy....
