Poll; Tape drives

[Madison Kelly]

Quick, informal and terribly unscientific poll...

1. Do you still uses tape drives?
2. If you were looking at a new backup system, would you want to use 
tape drives?


The reason:

Back when I wrote the first version of TLE-BU, I had a lot of people ask 
if it supported tape drives, or if I would add support for tape drives. 
I decided back then that, in the next version, I would add support for 
tapes.

Now that time has come and I am trying to determine how much of an 
interest people still have in tape drives. Is it worth the (relatively 
considerable) effort to add support for tapes in this day of cheap 
"disk" storage? Why *would* someone choose to use tape these days?

Thanks all!
