Just my $.02 but having removable, high-capacity media would be a desirable
hardware configuration for backup. After reading many posts regarding the
Zip drive's "click-of-death" syndrome, I would look at devices such as the
SyJet from SyQuest, Iomega's JAZ drive (now available in 2GB size), LS-120
drives, or tapes.
