DLT, DAT and all the other flavors up back up systems are good, b ut I have seen a ton of trouble with them on a complete system failure. People like them because they are cheap and there are some great programs to automate the backup process. I especially like ARC serve.
I always challenge the owner of business to reformat his drive and lets restore with his tape drive...they don't take me up on it. That speaks volumes about the reliability....I would be perfectly comfortable with a format c: and restore with my external drive....they are not that expensive, around 250 bucks, but buy a good one, there are some linksys and D-link ones that I wouldn't trust.
