well i looked at tape drives a while ago.. however the cost/mb is so large that 
I looked for another solution.

So my solution is this...I use SATA drives and pretend they are tape drives by 
using vchanger. I put a 4 bay hot swap SATA drive enclosure into the bacula 
server, I can write to 4 drives at a time. I can then remove the drives and put 
them in a flight case for off-site storage.
