We are happy with our current backup regime but we don’t account

Currently the old tape backup unit isn’t functioning, we are
looking at around ~10-15K for a server / storage / drive /
tapes. I could also but some external HD’s, write to them
over nite and then ship them off during the day. With the cost of
SSD and their size coming down that’s even more
attractive.</span></p>

Wondering what people are doing for offsite store / backups.
Looking at <a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/14/11/26/0044239/is-lto-tape-on-its-way-out" target="_blank">http://it.slashdot.org/story/14/11/26/0044239/is-lto-tape-on-its-way-out</a>
LTO tapes sales are down. People are backing up to
disk.<br>
<br>
But what are people doing for offsite. Removable HDs ?<br>
