Backup devices... opinions...

We use a DDS4 DAT tape backup.

Works good, but I'm interested in what anyone (everyone) else uses.

As far as bang for the buck the DDS drive works great. For us anyways.

We have a DLT drive that we use for backup as well as for sending in DVD masters to replicators.

If you might have that need, then I'd suggest to go with a DLT tape drive. Quantum DLT drives are used by most people. Often the drive itself is manufactured by Quantum even if the packaging says otherwise. I'd suggest checking before buying.
