TDF,

We're backing up about 49gb each night. I run a 5 tape system with weekly, monthly and yearly backups on separate tapes.

I am hesitant doing incremental backups. If we have a crash right now, we'd need everything from yesterday due to the records management. I.e. if we arrested Joe Smith yesterday and crash today, we'd need those records.

Are tapes still the way to go now or should we be looking at CD/DVD's? We replace daily tapes each year by rotating the weekly and monthly up.
