Hi Chris:
Contrary to some responses, I purchased an Iomega Ditto Tape Drive
backup system a year or so ago and I love it.  Yes, it is kind of slow,
but it has been totally reliable as far as I know. I like the "Backup
Manager" feature which reminds me that a backup is due.  I can't speak
for any other back-up systems because this is the only thing I've tried
(other than the ole "hundreds of floppies" deal.  This system works for
me; but your needs may be different than mine.

Good luck.
