Tape is rewriteable of course. Otherwise it would be a very expensive |
| 21 |
backup solution over the time (also depending on the amount of backup |
| 22 |
data). ;-) |

If media reliability is not most important for you and you already have |
| 25 |
some (used) hard drive or USB drive then the costs are zero. If you |
| 26 |
wanna have a more robust solution you must spend some money for a tape |
| 27 |
drive or a hard disk RAID. |

If you wanna use tape, don't buy a DAT drive. Most of them (especially |
| 30 |
the cheaper ones) are crap. As Armin already suggested, buy a DLT or |
| 31 |
LTO tape. |
