1GB? Pah!

Notice I used the term must be backed up. This indicates that this is the bare minimum of ultra-important data. Our current backup process uses nearly the entire 2.0GB DDS1 tape. Anything over that 1GB is mainly crap that just makes it easier for me to get the system running again.

My machine has all the literature, product photos, and desktop publishing stuff on it. Currently, I am using DVD+RW to back that up onto two discs (about 8GB). With the DLT, I could use that huge amount of backup storage to back that up every day. Currently, I back that stuff up whenever I have nothing better to do and the BBS is slow. So, I think I could use at least 10GB if I wanted.
