    External USB2 HDDs and automated backups at night (HDDs on a timer switch). These are also easy to rescue in case of a fire etc, if the data is that important.
    There's an Opera in my macbook.

      Yes and No, if you look on the clearance pages of online resellers you can sometimes pickup a bargain. Like an Ultrium 2 200/400Gb drive for £280 which a mate of mine has just bought

      ...and it seems to get the space needed to backup today's hard drives you have to use a hard drive.
      The highest capacity tape drive is 800/1600Gb, (SLT S4), which should cover all but the most extreme home system Unfortunately your back to your first point about cost then
      When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

          Only "system killer" I've seen was a 3 year old (Erik) who stuck a screwdriver in the P/S.

            Having just survived a fire that could have been a lot worse my desire for a good backup solution has increased a great deal. Having a tape or a drive that is no where near my location would be useful.
