this story is obviously meant to distract the/. community, right now your systems are being hacked by the very clever ashcroftians in conguction with department of homeland security, you all have been owned
Used to be in the data backup biz, you should really start with evaluating what you are actually backing up. Most people backup applications and temp files that really are not going to help much. Also, do you really need to archive all of that stuff even if you are anal? Another thing to consider is, will the media be supported and will you have the proper drivers for the disk drives handy. 220 Gigs is surely still in the land of tapes, I hate them more than most, but would not suggest the use of an IDE Hard Drive.
my 2 cents
