ok im looking at getting a new server but need to back up over 100GB. DDS tapes are more than out of the question 
DLT would need two to do 100GB compressed.
Any one got any ideas?
Had thought of back up to another machine with removable drives?

do you not have a spare HD around over 100gb?
I would just mirror the driver onto another HD (preferably a brand new drive).
£60?
if you dont want to shut the PC down, you could buy a external drive caddy from ebuyer which is usb and do it that way?

LTO2 drives will do 400Gb compressed. We've got some new stuff here that'll do 1Tb...
If this is for home use though, why not just use a RAID array or rsync the data to another machine overnight (Windows or Unix server?)....

Tim its for work.
Not long been here but their server is so poor.
And its come to a stand still today.
Using 4 DDS tapes to back it up at the moment. Which when your busy is a pain to keep swapping tapes every few hours.
USB HDD to back up 100+GB to it would take 5 or 6 hours at least.
I've used DLT before but for only 40odd GB.
Removable drives are a pain.
Any idea what sort of prices LTO2 is Tim?

Depending on how much you need to backup, how about one of the following?
160GB = http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10058
250GB = http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10059
300GB = http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10510
500GB = http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10511
Up to 100MB/sec transfer speeds on Firewire800 connections, assuming your server will support them (otherwise, it's 50MB/sec on Firewire400, or 60MB/sec on USB2.0). You're looking at about 20 minutes to backup 100GB, at full speed, on Firewire800...
Somewhat cheaper than most options!
