Exactly... the tape solution is a 2nd level backup that is performed
automatically on a daily basis. I archive to CD or DVD. I guess I
would consider my external hard drive to be my server. The drives are
mirrored so if one fails I still have the other. Along with tape and
DVD as backups I think I am covered.
If storage was not an issue I guess TIFF would be the only way to go.
