    This is in response to a question about inexpensive tape backup solutions.

    We have purchased system from ECRIX <http//www.ecrix.com>. They have
    developed a new tape system that is inexpensive, reliable and large. A
    single tape holds 33 gig uncompressed and 66 gig compressed (I have not
    filled a tape yet but I think it will actually hold about 50 gig
    compressed). The tapes cost $80 US. They have lower capacity tape for $30.
    The internal drive is $899 US and is the size of a CD-ROM drive. The
    mechanism is very quiet (unlike my 6 DAT cartridge drive) and has a 3 yr.
    warranty. I have had excellent response to my questions from the marketing
    folks and from the tech folks.

    I have no affiliation with the company other than as a satisfied customer.

    Richard
