A tape drive is a very secure way of backup up your data... if you for example run a incremental backup monday,thuesday,wednesday,thursday, and a full backup on friday you will have a good backup solution. The "fault" with harddrives is that they can rund about 100000000 or so rounds before they shut down. a tape will last a lot longer than that, and the data will last longer inn the end. The next soution for backup up your data is to use a dvd-rw, but this is offcourse if you don
't want to back up more than 8,4 gb of data... but it is a cheap solution. All of these metods are complient with the built-in program "NTBACKUP" this program has evenly a schedule feature with it.
