Or if you already have a network card, you can backup over a network
to a SCSI device. What I do is backup essential files to a quota-less
account I have on another system. Then when the sysadmin of that system
(a good friend of mine who knows what I'm doing) makes a backup, he backs
up my stuff too. :)
This way, you can backup to a SCSI DAT drive without having to buy a
SCSI PCMCIA card.
