Tape backup for Linux 7.3 / 9.0 Recomendation

[Chris Mason]

I have used Exabyte VXA-1 and now VXA-2 units exclusively and found them
very competent, controlled by Arkeia, but I have moved away from tape
because I find the drives unreliable and the software a bit tempermental. I
am now using backuppc to do harddrive backup, it's fantastic. If you have to
use tape, the above will work great.
