Does anyone still use tape for personal backup? I've long since gone to
external usb drives that I shove in the gun safe (aka fire safe).

Sun 3 had rather small QIC tapes, I think I had 60MB in mine?
QIC is OK, but the capacity zukz..
Depends. It is perfectly suited as backup for a vintage Unix system
like a Sun 3 / 4 or SGI. (My SGI Personal IRIS 4D35 has a 250 MB QIC drive for OS instales and backup.) Also note that
the latest QIC in
its SLR / MLR incarnation had a capacity of 20 GB.
I gave up on QIC when I had a 2GB version. Had a lot to do with the fact I
was given a DLT, I admit :)
