A friend recently told me I should "back up my system".  I got him
to first spell the word, then he explained the concept, and now I'm
sold on the idea that this is something I should do<g>.  So I'm
looking for advice on tape drives and tapes; I want to know what
works and what is cheap, also whether a tape-drive in a bay, or
external, thru /dev/lp0, is better(that last clause is faulty, but
since I'm using vi I'll let it go<g>)

TIA, best wishes, Alan
