What is the best system to use to back up my FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 machine?  I 
have an IDE hard drive & floppy drive, and no SCSI controller.

I would prefer not to spend reams of $$ on a tape backup, but am kind of 
clueless about the issue.  I thought a SCSI streamer would be good, but 
they seem to be about $800-900.  Can I get a cheap tape backup that won't 
be murder to install?

Help!
