All and everyone,

	We are purchasing a new ND with a 400 MB internal and 660 MB  
external and need a good backup medium.  I know that tape backup is used  
the most and is probably cheaper for "large" backups, over 1 GB, but does  
anybody have any recommendations for optical drives that can be used for  
backup?  A drive with at least 250MB per disk is necessary.

Thanks for the help,
