I'm not really sure yet.  I've already noticed that DAT drives are much 
cheaper than tape drives, or at least the ones in the catalog I looked at.

Not too expensive, because at some point it's cheaper to simply buy three 
really big external SCSI harddisks and simply switch them around twice a 
week than to buy a removable type drive.
