Not quite, no. The maximum tape size our system can take is 36 GB. The 
next model up will handle 80 GB, and there *is* no higher model after 
that. So I think we need to move to another technology.

And in other news, I CAN'T DO MENTAL ARITHMETIC! >_<

(I have 59 GB of data to back up. Obviously this doesn't fit on a 36 GB 
tape. Although to the system's credit, with the compression it does it 
actually *almost* fits... But when we get to the point where we're using 
nearly 103 GB of storage, we don't want to be using 36 GB or even 80 GB 
tapes, ideally.)
