Tape backup



 For a machine with 750 GB x 4 SATA drives (connected to SAS backplane) = 3 
TB (roughly), what would be a recommended native/compressed lto3 
[half-height] capacity drive to use for backup?  This is a standalone 
desktop. 

I am considering Windows native backup, if that will work with a tape 
drive. 

Some of what I've seen are 400 GB native / 800 GB compressed.  Normally 
I'd think that would fill quickly, but with tape drive technology and 
software, another part of me thinks it may last longer than I expect.  I 
look forward to getting educated here. 

Thanks. 

Scott
