can anybody offer some advice please ? I am nearly in the position to buy either a CDRW or a Tape drive and I am not sure which I should go for.. the prime aim, would be to back up my personal files and configuration data. I suppose that really, a tape drive would be the best option but I am acutely aware that CDRW's are now so common place (ish) that this medium would allow me to transfer file, create CD's and I presume, I could still tar my desired files to the CD rather than a tape ? CDROM's are relatively cheap - Tapes are comparitively expensive Anybody got any recommendations either way ?
