And that it costs money to do regular backups. This is a Bad Thing, and
will discourage you.
My method is to back up to DAT, but have three times as many tapes as I
actually need so I can keep a "latest" "fairly recent" and an "ancient"
backup of each partition.
I had the good fortune to get a DAT drive and a big pile of tapes on the
cheap, though.
