Hello,

We are beginning to digitize a lot of materials to an XServe and XServe RAID.
Although we are using RAID array for redundancy, I figure it would be a good
idea to start backing up the data.

I have very little experience with backing up large amounts of data.  Does
anyone have an recommendations on manufacturers/vendors?  Also, any
recommendations on which is faster/more reliable - tape or disc?

Thanks,
Shawn
