I use an HP SureStore 5000 (4mm Dat DDS1 2GB tapes) with an Adaptec 2940
adapter. I use the Dump and Restore utils. So far it has worked well but
is slow and too small. I also have a Yamaha CD-RW, but again too slow and
too small for backups. I am going to switch over to backup to extra hard
drives as suggested on the list. Makes a lot more sense to me because fo
the speed - and being able to restore on another system if need be.

Any SCSI 4 MM dat or a full size DLT, works just with Linux -- I
would avoid IDE based drives, and travan hardware for reliability
reasons.
