Backup devices

[Steve McGrane]

In that case, my recommendation to my customers is always to toss in a 2nd
hard drive.  The chances of 2 modern hard drives going bad... while
possible, are just about even with anything else going bad.

This makes a great no recurring cost solution as well.

I do like the idea of the useable and cheap media, but the low
capacity is a turn off.  This will be for a remote server and I don't
want to have an administrator standing there swapping disks just to
complete a full backup.  Unless you see a way around that, what are
the second choices?
