> Can anyone tell me what is the easiest way to set up automatic or
almost-automatic backups of data.  Zip drive, Cd-R, tape?   We're looking
for the easiest solution.

    For automatic backups? Tape by a LARGE margin. While ZIP drives and CDR
are great, they are just too small for backing up hard drives. If on the
other hand you are just backing up a few MBs then ZIP drives are a nice
choice. CDR and CDRW are OK but a little too error prone for me to consider
them a automatic backup solutions. For manual backing up they are great
though. TTYL
