As far as Zip being used as a backup product. Several articles have recently appeared which support the notion that they aren't anything but bastions of reliability. I came under fire for expressing precisely those same concerns and suggested that, barring the use of optical media, the use of multi-gigabyte, multi-track tapes provided a clear, present and superior solution. The response I received read something like this: Tapes is no good 'cuz they get loose 'n stuff. Zip disks is better. The cost of storing anything of material value on Zip disks is prohibitive (hundreds if not thousands of dollars) but the questionable reliability turns prohibitive into absolutely impossible for anybody serious about the integrity of their data.
