I used the Arkeia Lite solution until tapes could no longer handle the 
volume in an expedient manner. I dedicated a PII-300MHz linux machine with 
removable hard drive to that task. It utilizes SSH over rsync for a secure 
backup solution. The SSH over rsync solution has been discussed multitudes 
of time in the archives %^).
