There are DAT storage devices for computers... There are a couple SCSI
backups systems available. One tape stores a little more than a gigabyte,
I think. They are rather expensive now, though, and slightly slow, but it is
better than floppies... Have you tried to backup a gigabyte on floppies :-)

However, there aren't any Apple II drivers available for DAT backup systems,
so currently, DAT tape drives are more or less unusable on Apple IIs.
