I need to start doing backups. To that end, I'd like people's opinions on which
hardware I should buy. Presumably some sort of tape drive, but which one(s) do
you like/hate? Why?

The ideal system would use reasonably-priced and widely-available media, and
would not itself be horrifically expensive (like DLT). It also would not make
too much noise when idle. (As opposed to the external SCSI tape drive I had
years ago, whose fan screamed like a banshee whenever the drive was powered
on.)

The system in question is running 3.1R and has a Tekram DC390F SCSI card. It
will need to back up itself, another FreeBSD box (3.2R) and a Macintosh (8.1).

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
