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.
