Brendan, >> Tapes? I doubt tapes are significantly more reliable than Zip. <<

Not sure about the DAT but for older tape standard. It is not very reliable. I suspect the reliability is similar to Zip. I heard some horrible stories that when attempt to restore old archive from the tape backup, unrecoverable data loss occur occasionally. Fortunately, they usually has multiple backups. Optical is the way to go for reliability.
