Now for stretch, breakage and lack of speed.
Those big tape drives cost too much for the home consumer. The ones that are better with capacity. Too bad you cannot turn on a second hard drive with the OS, backup the data with a script, then shut it down to max out the life and it would be safe from mistakes. Cut all power to it too. Stay away from Maxtor's consumer brand. Removable hard disks are the way to go.
