Well, it is now time to just get it done. But before I rush out and buy a SCSI tape system, I ran in to one potential solution and I was wondering if anyone has tried it. Is it possible to back up to a hard drive as one does to a tape. This would include incremental backups as well as full backups. With the cost of large IDE drives, it seems like such a perfect solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
