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....
Better yet -- using dump, backup to HD and then copy that dump file
to tape or CD/DVD or another HD...
I use 2 HDs and alternate which one I dump to each week.
