I am thinking of getting a tape backup to backup my hard disk on my PC, and
would like to know what kind of experiences that people have had with their
systems.  Specifically,
 
     o Which brand of tape backup do you have?
     o How long does it take to do a full backup?
     o What is the cost?
     o How much can you store on a single tape?
     o Is any compression used, and if so, how much compression is done?
     o Have you verified the integrity of the backup?
     o Which software do you use to do the backup?
     o Any problems with it?
     o Would you recommend the tape backup that you have?
