     I'm administering a Novell Network for RPI's newspaper, and we're
  looking for a "new" way to bakcup our server. Currently, we back things 
  up to tape, but we'd like to switch to a more "flexible" medium.
  At this point, we're looking into either Bernoulli Boxes, or perhaps
  read-write optical disks. Does anyone have any experience with using
  either of these products for backups? Particular vendors for these?
  Comments? Suggestions? 
     Thanks in advance!
                                              -Sean
