Advice on New Hardware

Hello All,

I am looking to get a new back up solution for my file server. I have
a compaq 35/70gb dlt drive that has just packed up.

I already own a copy of Veritas Back up exec for nt 8.6. My regular
back up consists of windows adv server system state, exchange 2000 and
all files.

I have heard that there are now zip drives that can be used for a
daily back up. Are they reliable? I am also looking for a cheap
solution as money is low, but also do respect how important a reliable
back up is.

Many regards,
Luke
