I was wondering what the difference was between digital data
tapes (DDT) and digital audio tapes (DAT) for use in storing
data (via tar or wbak).  A local computer handbook states that
DAT's are not of sufficient quality for use in storing data;
does this mean that data recorded onto a DAT will degrade over
time?  

Is there a great price difference between the two?  Are there
good mail-order sources for DDT and/or DAT?

Thanks for your help!
