- All and everyone,
-
- We are purchasing a new ND with a 400 MB internal and 660 MB
- external and need a good backup medium. I know that tape backup is used
- the most and is probably cheaper for "large" backups, over 1 GB, but does
- anybody have any recommendations for optical drives that can be used for
- backup? A drive with at least 250MB per disk is necessary.
-
- Thanks for the help,
-
