That's a shame I thought they were going to suggest using 5 (or 7) hot  
swap drives and mirroring them each day before archiving them off to tape.

It all depends on what level of back-up you require. Heh my favourite is a  
company that used the grandfather/father/son system of backups, but reused  
the tapes. So Day 1: GF, Day 2: F, Day 3: S, Day 4: GF etc. I'm sure you  
can all see the problem.
