Things you find

University uses banks of IDE drives for backup solution (70Tb worth). The backup system was installed back in 2002; I'd be curious about a follow-up to see how it's worked out.

I don't know about using HD's for corporate backups, but that's how I do my own personal backups. So much cheaper than tape, and only hard drives offer the speed and capacity I need.

(I'm getting ready to move to a new backup solution -- one main 500GB for data, with two offline backups.)

Yep, I've done that myself. Don't know how well it'll work with Vista's "you changed hard drives five times so you must re-authenticate your product" schtick.
