*sigh*

Here one is with a multi-thousand-dollar tape drive, multi-hundred-dollar
backup software, and adding a cheap hard drive to the mix would let one
buffer up to dozens of gigabytes to keep the data flowing smoothly to the
tape.

So, the $64,000 question: will Netbackup allow you to do this? If so, it
seems like an obvious solution.
