   I would like to ask for information on tape drives for backup purposes
for the IBM PC.  I use one at my job, and when I was hired there recently I 
found out that in the two years before I got there they had NEVER backed up 
the hard drive, and there is some pretty valuable information regarding
sales, warranty information, etc.  Since I have been working there I have
gotten them into a weekly backup procedure, but I would like to do backups
at the close of every business day.  However, backing up a 10Mb hard drive
with floppies is a bit time-consuming and almost counterproductive...

   The information I would like is the usual:  price, speed, reliablity,
outstanding features, etc.  Also, if anyone out there has a personal 
preference for a particular one, please post!  I am relatively new to 
PC's, so any information is helpful...thanks in advance!
